Unit 5228

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 1.3 x 1.1 x 0.15 

Discussion: see 5211
NB - phytoliths ?artefact from c.919.2 / 968.5 / 1003.41
A large number of objects, including animal bone + potsherds, lay on or just above 5231 - given their coincidence with the 'dirty' floor at the S end of the space they are considered to be 'in-situ' refuse rather than part of 5228 

Recognition: defined as arbitrary layer below 5210 + approximately 10cm above floor. 

Definition: as A 

Execution: trowel + handpick 

Condition: generally slightly moist 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: predominantly mid/light brown (but mixed with darker material) 

Texture: silty clay loam 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: varying proportion of light yellowish brown rather sticky plaster-like material, light grey-brown sandy plaster (akin to that on walls + floor 5234), dark greyish brown clayey ?mudbrick; oramge sandy brick (generally more plastery than 5210) + c1% charcoal within the darker soil 

Post-depositional Features: not evident 

Basal Boundary: generally clear/sharp though mixed nature of surface 5231 made interface hard to follow precisely

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.
