Unit 4794
Category: layer dug in 1999
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: bin-base
Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple
Dimensions: ~80 by 35cm by 7cm
Discussion: This layer comprises many compound layers of plaster and orangey organic material. It looks like in situ layers of base which have been built up through use. This layer below 4805 is of very similar composition and the distinction between them rests mainly on the fact that 4805 is contained within the northern edge of the bin whilst 4794 lay on top. 4794 and 4805 together may span a phase of the bin where its size was expanded and the base extended over the northern arm.
Recognition: Fill in bin 488
Definition: See plan
Execution: Trowel
Condition: Good
Consistency: Variable-firm to soft and brittle
Colour: Variable-mid brown-to grey brown to orange to beige to white
Texture: Silty-clay
Bedding: Layered towards the west-fine plaster layers with material in between
Inclusions: <2% shell, bone obsidian, quite a lot of phytoliths/ impressions of plants
Post-depositional Features: A few roots and salts
Basal Boundary: Similar material underneath generally came off onto layer of plaster which turned out on excavation to be part of a very similar unit.
