Unit 7475

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: hearth 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: hearth; Material: dark grey clay; Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Dimensions: 0.60 x 0.58 x 0,06 

Discussion: The unit is interpreted as the remains of a hearth. The surface is composed of compact burnt CBM and the lower layer comprised loose burnt loamy sand. Unit 7477 has been distinguished next to the southern edge of unit 7475. It was at first defined as a cluster of animal bones. During excavation it occurred that the unit 7477 was not only around unit 7475 but also beneath. The unit 7477 was then interpreted as a pit infill with its own cut (7491). However the distinction between units 7475 and 7477 was faint and difficult to observe.
