Unit 3061
Category: layer dug in 1998
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: fill
Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 3.6m n to S, 0.7m E to W, 0.3m
Discussion: Within this layer were many pieces of brick and mortar of at least two different kinds. One brick with a thin layer of mortar and a layer of plaster (3062) and (3063) was lying almost on top and at first they were interpreted as part of a wall in situ, but they were in fact in the fill, maybe a part of a collapsed wall.
The layer was very patchy and heterogeneous with bits and parts of bricks, burnt plaster and soil of different texture and colour.
Some animal holes at the south end of the fill made it difficult to determine the relationship to the wall to the south.
Recognition: fill behind east wall of building one
Definition: defined by East wall of building one and wall of another building to the east
