Unit 4747

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Washed soil 

Data Category Information: Description: 60's

Dimensions: 1.85m EW, 1.05m NS 

Description: The top plastery soil which possibly washed down from the South section, over the burnt area. 

Discussion: I started to reliest the burnt area by removing the top soil of it. It has got many pieces of plaster and rarely mud brick pieces as well. But lots of grayish (maybe mortar) soil mixed with plastery material. It seemed that this layer was washed from the Southern wall and some of the layers where lays underneath 4747, have been seen that they continue towards South thus it showed that the slope in front of the south wall was a collapsed material as well.

There were some different coloured patches underneath 4747 and the relationship between them understood. 

Recognition: It is the southern part of the space 173. 

Definition: The layer which lays underneath was sharply different, thus it was easy to remove. 

Execution: Trowel. 

Condition: Damp 

Consistency: Soft and friable, sometimes sticky. 

Colour: Mottled: Dark gray, light and dark brown, light yellowish and white.

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.
