Unit 4789

Category: Cluster    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: phytoliths 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: basin; Material: phytolith; Deposition: secondary deposition

Dimensions: 0.24 EW 0.28 NS 0.001m depth 

Discussion: It is a very thin layer of organic residue(can be grass or tiny reed pieces) It has adhered to a yellowish plastery layer. I think this was an earlier surface of the bin and between two floor surface the phytolith layer is lying; which means below the phytoliths the floors are continuing. Maybe they made the feature and than laid down the phytolith and after that built the wall (edge) or the feature is finishing underneath the phytoliths (which is more logical). The top floor of F521 was very patchy so I have collected it with phytolith which is 4789 but the edge itself collected differently. 

Recognition: Under the 4787, the reed? impressions appeared

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.
