Unit 5487

Category: Layer    dug in 2002

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: consolidation,midden 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: Predominantly layer of .15m solid v. Sandy brick type material. Originally thought was basal deposits of wall but no bricks could be defined. Badly descicated through weathering and heavily eroded. I'd account for not seeing brick, but covered entire area. Top covered by thin layer (~50cm) midden type material which thought may have been a mortar horizon--took all off as area, this may have been the basal preparation for a wall or a soft midden, could also have been an isolated consolidation. One (?) earlier wall on N-S alignment and midden to east (?) to Trina's.
