Unit 18346

Category: Layer    dug in 2009

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: room fill,surface 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: EW 2.2m, NS 2.5m 

Discussion: This layer is currently believed to be a surface - although only excavation next season and a view of it in profile is likely to confirm either way. Only finds visible at top of unit were removed with brush and trowel - otherwise unexcavated - 55l of it removed by the end of the 2009 season.

18346 being a surface was suggested by the quantity of finds (obsidian, pot sherds and stone artefacts x3, x4 and obsidian blade x5) apparently lying flat on the surface. Careful troweling confirmed a difference in texture and density (more dense, more silty) and the darker brown-black colour also make 18346 distinction from 18341 clear.

Because the artefacts found on the surface 18346 were found cleaning 18341, they have been assigned as x-finds 

Recognition: mire vivid dark brown-black in colour, and more densely packed than 18341. Also, multiple pot sherds and stone artefacts and obsidian were seen lying fairly flat. 

Definition: pale grey border at interface with F.3303, 3310, 5061, 3311 

Execution: only finds visible at top of unit were removed with brush and trowel - otherwise unexcavated 

Condition: warm, dry, shade from tent

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
