Unit 6570

Category: layer    dug in 2000

Area: Trench I 

Interpretive Categories: collapse,room fill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.53 EW, 1.30 NS 

Discussion: Rubble fill within SP 190, mainly mudbrick and plaster but also daub
I say within SP 190, but really we need a new space number now as earlier walls on aslightly different alignment have appeared on west & north boudaries of this unit, also a probable wall on the south. The top of these is at the top of this unit, so that it is not really bounded by walls F304 and F716, but ones with new numbers F718 on west underlying F304 & F719 to north underlying F716. New space number 197. 

Recognition: Below 6550, which peeled off an informal white salted/phytolith 'division surface' as found between all these layers 

Definition: Bounded by walls to E, W and N and by Mellaart trench to S - well possible inner wall slightly further N to be investigated 

Execution: hand pick, trowel 

Condition: hot, sunny, cloudy - film crew here 

Consistency: mainly firm with soft patches 

Colour: 10YR4/3 brown - 2.5 Y 4/2 dark greyish brown (brick pieces) - which are most of it 

Texture: Silt 60%, clay 35%, straw 5% for brick. Also plaster=clay 

Bedding: massive convolute 

Inclusions: pot - med <2%, plaster <15%, large and small bone - med <2%, daub<2%, phytoliths, occ. Small ash patches, occ sm obsidian 

Post-depositional Features: animal holes, roots

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.
