Unit 16857

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: Mortar 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: During the 2012 season we recognised that buttress F.5053/5054 is a wall phase on top of older buttress F.3371. The dark mortar layers of F.5053/5054 were the main factor in recognising the phasing. 2-3 layers were preserved. Most of this mortar were removed with the mixed unit 16858, parts are still unexcavated.
