Unit 30700

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: wall bricks 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: brick; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This unit was seen in plan very early in the 2013 season, as we removed u.20271. It soon became clear that these mud-bricks were laid directly into the terracing/foundation cut [30229] so we proceeded to excavate the interior of the building, then removed these walls. It soon became obvious that these bricks were not stacked or laid systematiclaly or predictably into an even cut, but rather placed somewhat haphazardly into an extremely jagged one, a bit like u.30299. Therefore, we may have surpassed the true basal boundary of this unit while excavating with mattock, but have done our best to reveal where the orange mud-brick material remains.

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
