Unit 16400
Category: Layer dug in 2008
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: building infill
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous
Discussion: For this layer we could see that it was a mixed ashy silt and contained moderatly frequent burnt clay bits. Seemed like it was created over a period of time. Evidence of a lot of burning about 75% ash with lenses of coloured soils, maybe burnt clay / mudbrick but either way not entirely homogenous. Close to no artifacts found. Pretty clear to observe changes and where it ended.
