Unit 17433
Category: Layer dug in 2008
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: plaster lining of basin
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: basin; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous
Dimensions: 0,76 m (N-S) x 0,40 m (E-W) x 2 mm thick
Discussion: Plaster lining of basin, with quern stone at southern end and horse jaw at northern. The jaw was slightly plastered over-so perhaps integral to the feature?
A lense of ash underying the plaster was also taken out with 17433-possibly used as a sterilising agent?
