Unit 5210

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 4.8 x 1.5 x 0.05-0.40 

Discussion: 'red' infill under plastery deposit 4947. A fairly consistent but undulating deposit, highest at SW end where section suggests max height 1004.18 (this taken out with 4943). On end within this deposit were a number of large 'bricks' of white plaster with a grey clay coating (see plan). Otherwise the deposit was generally more homogenous than the fills above, becoming more mixed lower down. The gridded infill below 5210 can probably be considered a seperate deposit although the division between the units is basically an arbitrary one (see 5211 etc).
5210 is a dense, homogenous reddish brown in its upper parts to the S + NE. Elsewhere + lower down this material is probably present within a mass of large lumps of brick, and especially plaster 

Recognition: orangey fill distinct from above fill

Associated Hodder Level (from Space): Unassigned at present 

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
