Unit 3762

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: infill 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Upon later excavation this unit proved to be the same as (3736), excavated by SF. This unit is probably an infill layer between walls and it is characterised by accumulations of finds, especially small amounts of charcoal, medium small - medium sized bones and clay ball fragments.

This therefore implies that wall 286 continues eastwards where its relationship has not yet been defined (SF). 

Recognition: Deposit at E end of wall 286. Visible by dense amount of bone/charcoal etc. 

Definition: Clear aginst F.259 to N, unit (3736) to E and wall F.52 to S. 

Execution: Trowel. 

Condition: Dry. 

Consistency: firm to strong 

Colour:  

Texture: silty but occasional sandy grain 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: bone frags, dense charcoal inclusions, 5% shell, stone, clay ball frags. all <2% 

Post-depositional Features: large amounts of salt 

Basal Boundary: anthropogenic/gradual and faint/smooth and even

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.
