Unit 7693

Category: layer    dug in 2003

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: pit infill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 2.08 x 1.30 x 0,32 

Discussion: This is a second layer of a large pit that is placed in SW corner of the trench. Its heights has been defined arbitrarily by the level of construction elements comprising the base (?) of a smaller pit that is dug out into this pit (units 7691 and 7692). Consequently, a decision was made to lift all deposits to get into the same level in both pits. 

Recognition: color, consistency and context

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.
