Unit 22893

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: GDN 

Interpretive Categories: fill 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: Ashy layer that sealed the early dirty floor U.22848 (NFE) in the south-eastern corner of Sp.537 of B.142. It consisted of many lenses of ash and clay which were excavated within one unit number. This layer accumulated over southern massive foundation of B.142 and, most likely, against oven F.8551. The estern part of the unit situated alongside the eastern wall of B.142 continued behind the limit of excavation and was left unexcavated. 

Consistency: friable / firm 

Colour: dark grey, greyish, brownish 

Texture: sandy silt, ash 

Bedding: compound layered: fine and multiple ash and clay lensses 

Inclusions: charcoal, clay aggregates 

Post-depositional Features: truncation by possible ladder retrieval pit F.8070, western part has eroded since 1960's excavation 

Basal Boundary: constructional (plastered floor surface)
