Discussion: The red, black., beige, layers of possibly roof, plastering on top of thick bricky base.
Hard to follow indvidual layers at any depth. 31/8/97 15 cm depth. Layers slope at 80 degrees down ->WSW. Don't seem at all like plaster, more like crumbly building clay.

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.

Unit description: A very small unit, present only as >4mm flot sample (number 1, flot 907). Unit contains some 03 size long bone shaft fragments, rib fragments and vert fragments, an O/C femur head, distal tibia, patella, astragalus, distal phalanx 1 (digested) and tooth fragments. Of 07 size there is a rib fragment and a carpal fragment. Some of the material, particularly the diagnostics, is in very bad condition, seemingly battered, and with stage 4 or 5 surface weathering. Other is better, 03 weathering stage. But generally little integrity, with a few pieces charred but the rest not, and some digestion. Material looks a bit like fill. Unit sheet describes it as possible roof collapse, and being like bricky clay in texture on excavation, so if it the bone was incorporated into building material, this might explain the re-worked character, and that it seems to be from diverse sources. F1 is a bone ring, broken in half, in manufacture or use? A fish vertebra pulled.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
