Unit 17272

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: room fill 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: The elevations of x1, x2 and x3 are incorrect.

17272 is a layer of mortar exvavated on the room of B.105. It corresponds to a soft filll of sandy silt, with some very compact lumps, especially in the NE and NW corners. The heterogeneity of the texture and of the colors let us think that we are still on the room fill of B.105. 

Consistency: soft fill with lots of firmvclay lumps 

Colour: white spots, black spots, dark and light brown, yellow, red 

Texture: fill: sandy silt, clay lumps (very firm!) 

Bedding: compound layered, heterogeneous fill with homogeneous clay lumps 

Inclusions: pottery, bones, plaster (burnt and painted), shell, eggshell, obsidian, ash 

Post-depositional Features: roots and burrows, truncated by put 17274 

Basal Boundary: in the corners (NE and NW) wavy, to the south flat
