Unit 6523

Category: layer    dug in 2000

Area: Trench I 

Interpretive Categories: Room fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 1.76m EW x 1.42m NS 

Description: Upper room fill after definition (rough) of walls 

Discussion: Upper fill of Space 190 after definition of walls below ploughsoil. Very soft and loose material. Noticeable that there were large pot sherds in the upper part and small ones lower down. It came down onto a lumpy, rubble-type deposit, sloping unevenly north to south.

17/8 - wall F715 was defined originally when I started here, there seemed to be something bricky at the east end of the grave cut, which was thought to be fill, but I realised was brick and thought could be a buttress, but then turned out to be a W-E wall running across the north end of Space 190 and 191 - NSH.

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.
