Unit 8105

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: occupation layer 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.1 X 1.0 M 

Discussion: This unit represents mixed deposits of an occupation layer under and surrounding unit 6694 and F. 642. There are various floor deposits of red clay, white plaster, and black layers. Many discontinuities made it impossible to follow a single contemporaneous layer. However, a sample of the black organic layer was taken for ICP, phosphate, and phytoliths. Also, a sample of the plaster "feature" in the NE of the unit was taken for phytoliths. It was badly damaged and a good outline wasn't visible. The gray "fill" area was identified by texture. The 1/4 spherical feature in the corner (SW) had a black layer on top of the plaster and the fill was similar in texture but red-gray to the round "fill" hole in the SE. 

Recognition: packing surround F. 642 after a removal

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.
