Unit 13053

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

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

Dimensions: 2.80 x 0.60 x 0.24/0.22/0.14 

Discussion: This is an infill layer placed along the wall recorded as unit 13059 and underneath a younger wall recorded as unit 11503. This position defines stratgraphic position of the wall. The unit may be the same layer as infil layer recorded s unit 13022. Southern boundary of this unit (13053) was defined arbitrary. Eastern part of this infill layer was deposited on top of yet another wall which seems to be a continuation of wall 13059. It indicates that this layer was formed after abandonment of this wall but after wall 11503 was built.
The basal bundary was sloping eastwards so that the heighest and lowest measurements differed as follows:
heighest: 1017.12 (W), 1016.85 (middle), 1016.76 (E)
lowest: 1016.88 (W), 1016.63 (middle), 1016.62 (E).
As a result, the heights differed as follows: 0.24 m (W), 0.22 m (middle), 0.14 (E).

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.
