Discussion: 5084 was the remains of crumbly orange-brown floor surface that was cut by oven F 540. It is possible that it extended further to the east but it was too badly truncated/ worn to be certain of this. The survival of the deposit in the area to the west of F 540 suggests that (like 5083) it may represent the earliest definition of 'dirty' and 'clean' areas (to the east and west respectively) in the southern half of building 23/ space 178. If the eastern edge of this deposit marked the eastern edge of the 'clean' edge at this time, this could explain why the floor surface survived in this area, but was severaly truncated to the east where a variety pf productive activities appear to have taken place (according to the overlying deposits).

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.
