Unit 30820

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: Pit fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: The pit fill was identified in plan view by its differing gray color from the surrounding orange. The fill was a roughly homogeneous texture and color, retaining its brownish grey, friable composition until the basal boundary was reached. The S half of the pit's basal boundary adopted a more orange color while the N part of the boundary remained the same as the rest of the fill. However, we decided to stop in level with the basal boundary of f. 7188 with the similar reasoning that after a wall was identified (in f.7188) the surrounding fill on the same plane could possibly adopt a new context. The profile of the pit was identified by the clear mud bricks of the wall that the pit was cut into. Because copper was found in the pit fill, we know that the age of the pit fill is at least Chalcolithic.

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
