Discussion: 5090 was a silty clay, orange floor surface which lay in patches over earlier 'dirty' (4987) and 'clean' (4988) floor deposits and make-up layers in the south east corner of building 23/ space 178. Because it was emphemoral and insubstantial, it was excavated in two parts with the repective underlying floor deposts 4987 and 4988. No separate samples were taken for the floor surface itself. However, it was given a separate number after excavation to establish its distinction from the earlier segregated floor deposits and to clarify its position in the matrix.

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.
