Unit 17912
Category: Layer dug in 2008
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: plaster basin
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous
Dimensions: irregular c. 0.66m e-w x 0.5m x rim 40mm thick, base 10mm thick
Discussion: Rim c. 70mm wide, abuts wall F.1657 to west and partition F.1654 to east, slopes smoothly to flat base. Located towards the centre of Sp.334. It is constructed over (17910).
Truncated to east by animal burrow and razed to the south when went out of use, which perhaps suggests that it was not on a flat plane originally.
The form of this feature curves up to walls on either side, the base and rim has a gradual fall westwards which may be post-depositional.
Rim c. 40mm thick and base 10mm thick. Constructed of white marl with phytolith inclusions, no visible layerings. Phytolith mat or basket base (17912.s3) found towards NE, part lifted as sample.
