Unit 10732

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: fire-spot,midden layer 

Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded

Dimensions: (300cm x 34cm and 260cm x 30cm x 10-15cm height (two sections) 

Description: fast track 

Discussion: the previous walls that had defined the western/southern part of 229 were determined to be later than the internal walls of the space and were removed. The adjacent midden layer (10714) had clearly been part of this midden, as had the midden on the other side of the wall (11023). This midden layer is very dark with many inclusions of charcoal, plaster and clay, as well as other organic egeologic remains. There are significant levels of charcoal. The inclusions of bone indicate a high probability that this is infact midden :)
TDV calculated from dims
LY 14/07/10 this may actually be a fire-spot missed in excavation, but so much of the surrounding midden must have been excavated (based on the depth) that I have left the data category as midden

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
