Unit 20375

Category: Layer    dug in 2012

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fill / foundation 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: NS- 1.70 m EW- 3.50 m depth 0.04 m 

Description: Dimensions changed to figures above in 2014, earlier (2012-3) dimensions were 1.7 (length), 3.5 (width) and 0.040 (thickness). Another 0.2 m was removed in 2014, hence total thickness 0.24. 

Discussion: 2012: This unit is the north part of B.97. We will continue next year for this unit (2013).
2013- this unit was originally excavcavated in 2012 and we continued work in it in the current season 2013. We can not found floor layer in Sp.160. We will continue to digging next year. For 2013 dry sieve tally 270 lt.

2014: Another 15 litres sieved, and 900 litres unsieved this year. Total amount in samples 2013 was 410.5 litres (340 lt sieved and 40 lt unsieved).

Note: The plaster on platform F.3457 in NE corner on B.97 is on top of this unit.

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.
