Unit 4468

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: bedding layer 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.80m N-S; 0.12m; ( max. depth) 0.06m 

Discussion: We initially thought that (4468), was part of compound layered deposit (4468) - there were a few thin, off-white, faint plaster streaks toward the S. limit. Excavation showed these were insubstantial and limited inclusions. The deposit was a compact clayey silt - largely homogenous, and it's positioning below floor layers (4466), suggests bedding for those layers. (4468) was attached to the west face of wall F447. 

Recognition: Dk. brown layer underlying floor layers, and above 'make-up' 

Definition: Clear definition from different coloured deposits above and below.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
