Unit 19610

Category: Layer    dug in 2011

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: occupation layer 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: .61 m EW; .71 m NS x .03-.04 m 

Discussion: This layer is composed of the layers of trampled soil built up from occupation. Removing this layer revealed a plaster surface and a localized half-circle of ash underneath the overhang of wall f.4087-- as well as the southern side of the built edge we began to identify (see the emerging partition in the sketch). All three of these features therefore predate the evidence of occupation found in layer (19610). 

Recognition: Sectioned off when plaster construction was revealed, sectioning off the SE corner 

Definition: clear to north (plaster partition) south and west extends under overhangs of walls f.4087 and f.4089 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: warm 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: grey-brown mottled with yellowish brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: layered 

Inclusions:  

Post-depositional Features: ladder scar (f.3523) 

Basal Boundary: clear- plaster surface toward east; ash layer (hearth fill?) towards west

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.
