General Information

Locus Type:

Earth

Supervisor:

D. Hopkins

Designation:

Occupational debris layer

Reason:

First hard surface in W part of square; identified by plastic from previous season

Top Separation:

Very Clear

Bottom Separation:

Very Clear

Start Date:

30 Jun, 1989

End Date:

13 Jul, 1989

Interpretation

Function:

Occupational debris layer with an uncertain relationship to Wall 45 since E extent is uncertain; one of series of layers above Fill 44; ash above (included in L 40/41 in U87) may reveal a burn-off of accumulated debris

Stratigraphy remarks:

Disturbance may have resulted from robbing of the wall whose parameters are visible in the S balk; 42 is prob later than Wall 45 but uncertain
