Unit 3145

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor and packing 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mixed; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 0.92 m EW x 0.27 m NS x c. 30 mm thick 

Discussion: This unit is one of the layers above 3135 and is of the same material as 3144 and 3146. The unit is a clearly defined floor level consisting of several very thin plastered layers (depth c. 2-8 mm), and a deeper infill layer of brownish material (5 mm). The floor layer breaks away relatively easily though the distinction is not always clear due to some erosion and weathering. The basal surface inclines sharply towards wall, plunging down beneath it, possibly as a result of the weight of the walls. 

Recognition: floor level distinguishable by difference in colour primarily 

Definition: edges visible but crumbly and eroded up to wall F.263 

Execution: layer by leaf trowel 

Condition: dry and crumbly 

Consistency: soft and crumbly 

Colour: mostly 10 YR 6/2 light brownish/grey 

Texture: clayish silt 

Bedding: layered, inclined to S wall, surface of unit smooth but uneven with several pitted and cracked areas on the general incline several plaster layers, one brown infill, 5-8 mm 

Inclusions: 2 % charcoal 

Post-depositional Features: very small amount of salt 

Basal Boundary: abrupt and fairly distinct anthropic layer, smooth and inclined, S. surface smooth

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.
