Unit 5235

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: bin arm,fire instalation 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.25 x 0.1 x 0.15 

Discussion: ?bin arm of bricky material with obliquely sloping ashy lens within it - perhaps indicative of a rebuild/repair. While the material forming 5235 was distinct from fill 5228 above it its nature is unclear - too low to be a bin proper as it survives, there is equally no evidence for burning on surface 5236 (which is similar to ?makeup 5239 but at a higher level) but a small patch of ?5239 lipping up to the N side of 5235 seems to have been burnt (oxidised)
- this area is ??? on 99/669 though it appeared subsequently to underli 5231/5234 

Recognition: recognised as possible structural elemnt within collapse/infill 5228. Seemed reasonably coherent + suspiciously adjacent to clean surface 5236 (Besides, Shahina wanted some features in this space ...) 

Definition: as A 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: moist (slightly) 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: mid yellowish-brown 

Texture: silty clay loam 

Bedding: massive (including charcoal / ashy lens) 

Inclusions: occasional flecks of charcoal (<1%). Deposit includes patches of dark grey ashy material with frequent charcaol (5-10%) - resolved as a lens sloping down from S to N, within (5235) proper. 

Post-depositional Features: not evident 

Basal Boundary: clear

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
