Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: ridge; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.86 m N/S x 0.2 m E/W x 0.035 m thick 

Discussion: Brown silt layer sloping down to S. Part of E/W ridge which runs through this square and the one to the E. Truncated by cut for F290 (3932). Possibly floor. 

Recognition: Brown silt layer sloping down to S. 

Definition: Continues into E baulk, cut to W by (3932). 

Execution: Leaf. 

Condition: Very tired. 

Consistency: compact 

Colour: (3974) is a compound layer consisting of layers (3940, 3922 and 3929) where they met under the W baulk of space 117. See separate unit sheets for further explanation. All these units lay above a 'platform' feature to the SW of the deposits. 

Texture: silty sand 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: frequent phytoliths 

Post-depositional Features: none except truncated to W by (3932) 

Basal Boundary: sloping/clear/anthropogenic
