Unit 7769

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: Trench I 

Interpretive Categories: Wall 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 2,6m x 0,8m x 0,15m 

Description: Plaster on face is crumbly 5YR 8/2 with poss structure perhaps from against voids, 3-5cm thick in places. 

Discussion: Initially hard to discern bricks or distinguish from possible mortar because so dry and crumbly - with soft areas caused by animal disturbance. Sample 2 was taken from the second 'skins' above 1008,15m.
Below this floor was a slight change so the number was changed (see (7774)).
This may well be remnant of a late wall built inside the earlier area which goes with the plaster surfaces in this space. This earlier wall to the N has either truncated almost up to the wall plaster or removed in error.. 

Recognition: Possible E-W wall with plaster surface to N but appears plaster surface goes beneath it so may be late structure - therefore decided to remove it. 

Execution: Trowel 

Condition: Dry 

Consistency: Cloddy but relatively loose/crumbly. 

Colour: 10YR 4/2 

Texture: Silty clay 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: Moderate-fine (c.5mm) plaster frags, occ fine charcoal, pot and bone relatively common for a wall. 

Post-depositional Features: Some signs of animal disturbance and the odd root. 

Basal Boundary: Uncertain and perhaps arbitrary.

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.
