Unit 3316

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: fire debris 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 0.34 E-W x 0.45 N-S m x up to 10mm thick 

Discussion: ashy layer same as 3326 - fire debris , overlies and slumped onto plaster layer 3364 where it follows contours of cut 3658 

Recognition: northern area revealed last year, southern area exposed when bin walls were removed. Dark grey ash and charcoal layer. Drop in level to south. Not sure yet whether it is slumped into bin cut or cut by it 

Definition: peters out to the north, cut to the east by post retrieval pit, continues into LOE to west, beyond this baulk it is called 3326. Probably cut by bin to south 

Execution: leaf, not fully excvated, some left in micromorphology baulk 

Condition: dry, covered 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: 7.5 YR 6/1 grey 

Texture: sand 10%, ash 60%, silt 30% 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: frequent 20% charcoal flecks + frags. 5-20 mm and smaller flecks <1 mm, moderate white salts <2 mm, (moderate) 5% orange flecks <1 mm 2%, phytoliths small <3% 

Post-depositional Features: salts, possibly truncated to S by bin cut 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic/abrupt/smooth to N/irregular to S
