Unit 12223

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: make-up layer 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: external; Material: pise-like; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 0.60 x 0.30 x 0,26 

Discussion: This is a make-up layer situated in western part of basal boundary of unit 12221 and together with this layer forming a make-up below a wall 10985.

On the E side of unit 12223 a small fragment of wall (12224) appeared, which is possibly another part of a wall 11792 - situated on the other side of a cut 11589.

In basal boundary of unit 12223 the remains of construction of an oven were noticed (unit 12251) as well as a fragment of a floor (unit 12244). Therefore this basal boundary had prominent and constructional features and the lowest differed from 1017.11 (E) to 1017.19 (W), so the heights ranged from 0.26 (E) to 0.18 (W).

It is possibly another part o layer (infill) excavated as unit 12200 its upper layer on S side of unit 12223 and if so, it is also same as unit 12225 - from which it is separated by wall 12224.

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.
