Unit 4502

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor? 

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

Dimensions: 1.40 E-W by 0.23 by 0.03 max. depth 

Discussion: (4502) was a thin E-W band of material, immediately south of wall F.482. It looked like a floor layer, but it's not clear why it didn't extend further south, and why it's southern limit keeps a relatively regular line, when there's no obvious evidence for wear or truncation. However there were v.small traces of orangey material to the south of (4502), so presumably it did originally extend southward. (4503) below, is a slightly ashey deposit , which follows the same line as (4502), so perhaps an explanatory pattern will emerge.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
