Interpretive Categories: burnt below floor packing 

 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only)

 

Dimensions: E-W=1.60; N-S=1.32m; Depth = 

 

Discussion: This unit is at the same elevation to floor [10106] but is very burnt. A slot excavated through the contexts showed no layering that would be typical of floor surfaces even if burnt. It seems probable that this is the infill from the building below or floor packing for building 45, that had been charred by the fire and is probably equvilent to 10086 on the northen side of the dividing floor level wall F. 1423. The plaster floors may have suffered the same as the plaster wall coverings and not survived the heat or at least could not be recognised as surfaces during excavation. 

 

Recognition: plaster floor [10106] turned to a black infill as it as chased north 

Definition: no layering visible suggesting the contexts was below floor packing rather than burnt surfaces
