Unit 20170

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: pit infill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1,1 m. E-W x 1,2 m N-S, depth 0,33 m 

Discussion: This infill is the second fill within the cut u20145 in the feature 3919. At this level however, the feature is no longer truncated by the later f. 3918- the cut and fill form a roughly circular pit. Not much material was recovered in this layer (similar to the earlier one). The soil was in places, like that of 20144 - grey and silty, but in other places it was brown and mixed with a bricky material. The layer was deemed done when I got down to a more homogenous brown soil level.

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.
