Unit 10821

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: arbitrary layer,construction fill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: homogeneous

Description: arbitrary spit of construction fill in Sp.162 below space 231 FAST TRACK 

Discussion: arbitrary spit of construction fill. Continuation of unit 10819 above. Reddish brown loose sandy clay containing large amounts of stone and charcoal and clay balls all of which decreased in ubiquity downwards. Nonetheless the matrix was clearly identical.

Note that the southern definition of this unit has become arbitrary as it was found that the wall f 1701 is out of phase. Thus the fill in space 231 - this unit - is identical to that in space 112 - unit 10818.

The lower limit of the unit is arbitrary.

TDV is derived from dims. 

Recognition: arbitrary layer 

Definition: bounded by the walls of space 231 - arbitrary distinction to the south 

Execution: mattock and scraper 

Condition: moist

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
