Unit 2500

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: foundation infill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 2.60 x 2.0m 

Description: as 2523 

Discussion: Foundation infill - same as 2162 above, but arbitrarily divided - may show some vertical differentiation w. finds.

Base of the layer also includes the top 0.05-0.1 m of the next layer down (2533) - this may therefore affect any attempt to uncover vertical differentiation in (2162) and (2500) (GML) 

Execution: trowel & pick 

Condition: dry & sunny 

Consistency: firm 

Colour: 2.5 Y 5/3 light onlive brown, but there is some mottling and occasional fine layering of darker grey and organic brown material 

Texture: sandy clayey loam 

Bedding: largely massive, but with some fine layering within it 

Inclusions: occasional fragments of mudbrick (<30mm <2%); occasional fragments of burnt daub (<50mm <2%); occasional lumps of finely layered plaster (<60mm <2%), also finely crushed plaster; occasional charcoal, most in scattered lecks <5mm, but some larger (c.10mm) lumps are also present 

Post-depositional Features: some limited fine rootlet penetration, some small mammal burrowing, but also some unusual vertical cracking filled with a fine silt (the result of sun cracking, or earthquakes. this cracking up to 0.30 m deep.

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
