Unit 31179

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: brick wall,construction 

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

Discussion: The unit’s dimensions have been drawn arbitrary to get a better understanding of the connection between F3306 and F2429. To the north it was limited by unit 31124. To the west by an artificial cut on the same vertical level as the western boarder of F3339. The eastern limit was at the same vertical line (SN) as F2425. The southern border was drawn at the connection between F3339 (buttress) and at the very east by the connection to F3305/2425. The wall of unit 31179 was built in very homogenous horizontal layer. The area in the middle (WE) was disturbed by a later pit. The amount of finds was relatively low and no x finds have been recorded. Only one charcoal sample and flotation samples were taken. Normal finds were animal (few bones) and some shards (pottery).

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
