Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 1.29m (E-W), 0.19m (N-S), 0.06m deep 

Discussion: 4507 was a strip of homogeneous clayey material which together with 4786 made up the partition F528 that separated the "clean" and "dirty" areas in the eastern half of building 23. 4507 appears to have been laid as the central spine of this feature which was then grouted above and around by the orangey material 4786. There was a concentration of phytoliths on the upper, southern surface of the deposit in a patch of darker grey material. This could repesent either the trample of material from the "dirty" area into the top of the partition, evidence of a repair to or build-up of the partition because of wear, or (most likely) variation in the clayey material that it was composed of.

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.
