Unit 3842

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infilling 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Dimensions: 1.95 x 1.6m, depth; 0.14 to 0.002 m (S to N) 

Discussion: Infill from platform F239 in SW corner of space 154. The unit was quarter sectioned, square B was excavated first, then square C. More plaster was found in the fill of square D and A.

Obsidian (x1) + clay ball (x2) marked as x-finds because they are lying on the platform surface.

The fill above the platform is thicker against the wall F224, and thins towards the pit edge (pit F240) (actually ?? cut to nothing).
A pit/cut was found in far SW corner of platform. 

Recognition: Colour and texture. 

Definition: Defined by platform edge. 

Execution: Quarter sectioned, trowel, leaf trowel. 

Condition: Slightly moist. 

Consistency: compact but friable when crushed 

Colour: 7.5 YR 4/3 brown 

Texture: silty clay 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: charcoal 2 % 5 mm; plaster 20-60% 60-100 mm; more in square c near the wall few bits bone, one whole clay ball
