Unit 20943

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: rubble of fallen wall 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: The rubble of fallen wall composed of mid-orange bricks and light-orange mortar was recorded in situ within the Northern part of Sp.511. Taking into consideration the preservation of the rubble that allowed the identification of particular courses of bricks and mortar it is highly possible that the location where the unit was uncovered remains exactly the spot where it collapsed in the past and afterward was wrapped by midden deposits (U: 19564). From a stratigraphical point of view the unit together with the southern rubble (U.20942) represent the latest phase that could be related with space 511, and they both are reminiscent of a disintegration episode that occurred probably after sealing the whole structure by dumping material. The latter is confirmed by the fact that the described rubble laid directly on the earlier midden (U. 20965), covering the mentioned space interior.

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
