Unit 14416

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floors 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: Unit including several floor layers, several of which (especially the white irregular plaster layer) are very worn and overlapping.
These floors come down onto a dirty grey floor layer that continues accorss the whole of this platform extension area.
The thickest area to the N was up to 3cm thick.
These floors are probably associated with the use of the oven as there are several ashy layers stratigraphically beneath both the hearths. There is the possibility that the white layer may relate to the plastering of the oven nich when it went out of use but this relationship cannot be proven.

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.
