Unit 5245

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: c1.7 x 1.5m 

Discussion: Plaster surface in N half of sp.182. Generally dry. gritty deposit in contrast to 'sticky' 5246. The surface becomes more mixed and harder to follow to the SE but the presence of a floor is suggested by the entirely flattened sheep horn at c. 919.5 / 970.75 / 1003.27 (no X find because not lifted).
5246 is a clayey plaster deposit with a much stickier feel. Two patches are present, provisionally given the same number. That is the NE corner lies directly below 5241; the interface with 5245 remains to be properly defined. That to the SW of 5245 clearly underlies the latter - its extent will become clear on removal of 5245 but it too appears to be absent from the W side of the space in the centre of the room.
NB the only finds + sample numbered as 5246 in 1999 came from the NE corner of sp182 (see 5346). 

Recognition: solid plaster surface below mixed occupation deposit 5240 + extending to S below 5242. It may continue beneath 5239 but this was not excavated. 

Definition: as A 

Execution: not excavated in 1999. 

Condition: as C

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.
