Unit 4022

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: fill in cut 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: scoop; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: length 35 cm x width 20 cm x depth 10 cm (arbitrary dimension) 

Discussion: Twenty-second layer of floor/lenses on platform F239.

This is fill in a cut (4024) through platform F239, possibly a grave cut? Cuts through plaster floor (4025) and possibly the two floor layers above (4025) also, these being (4018/4021). This was not excavated further as it is nearly the end of the season. The units (4018/4021) were cracked and discontinuous in the area of the cut, possibly because they were applied over a cut, rather than actually being cut through, although this is also possible. 

Recognition: Cut/fill was apparent as is a different colour/texture to the plaster floor. 

Definition: Defined by running section, and edges of the cut. 

Execution: Leaf trowel, trowel. 

Condition: Slightly moist. 

Consistency: compact but friable when crushed 

Colour: 10 YR 4/4 dark yellowish brown 

Texture: clayey silt, ashy 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: brick fragments, reddish in colour 10% 2-5 mm; plaster frags 20% 5-10 mm; salts (very few); charcoal towards top of excavation area 2 mm 5%; clay lumps hard 20% 10 cm; 2 bone frags, pot frag, phytoliths
