Unit 8005

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Packing layer 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: 8005 would seem to be a layer of creamy brown material (packing?) that has been eroded out (possibly truncated by 1997 excavation). It is sitting on top of a plaster layer which in turn is sitting on another similarly coloured layer of packing which again sits on top of a plaster layer which may form the surface of a more or less complete platform.

As yet there is no stratigraphical relationship with strata excavated by the Greek team. Their archives are currently being worked on. 

Recognition: as left by Greek team in 1997 

Definition: Colour difference, clear edges 

Execution: trowelled 

Condition: hot and dry 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: light creamy brown 

Texture: clayey silt 

Bedding: no visible bedding 

Inclusions: plaster fragments (1-3 cm) with visible red paint, charcoal (>1 cm >1%) 

Post-depositional Features: eroded (possibly truncated by greek team in 1997) 

Basal Boundary: clear, wavy boundary

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
