Unit 3106

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Brick 

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

Dimensions: 0.52 x 0.27 x 0.06 

Discussion: (3106) represents three courses of brick in what was left of wall [61]. They were the second brick type in this wall and the arrangement of these and other sandier bricks (2877) had a decorative appearance. This is difficult to confirm as the majority of the wall had already been removed. 

Recognition: Dark, blocky material, clearly different to the other brick and mortar in wall [61]. 

Definition: Defined by colours and texture and cracking/salt encrustations between it and the surrounding mortar 

Execution: Pick and trowel 

Condition: Slightly damp, hot and sunny and still clammy 

Consistency: Firm 

Colour: Brown 10 YR 5/3 

Texture: Clayety silt 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: Very few (<2% charcoal) 

Post-depositional Features: Some salt encrustation and animal burrowing 

Basal Boundary: Clear, sharp, constructional basal boundary prominently marked with a smooth and level interface between it and the unit (3112) beneath
