Full Record for Context Number 4649

Context Number: 4649
Description: Base step for threshold of link room
Notes:This feature is probably the base for a step / threshold, associated with the link room structure. It comprised materials similar to the link room walls and was located in the middle of the south wall of the link room. At a certain point in course two (see plan), the construction material abruptly changes from CBM to randomly distributed flint, sandstone and chalk. At this same point, excavation became straight and well-defined. These changes may reflect an extension of the foundation either during or after initial construction. Strat below (4598). Strat above (4649), [5417]. Completely removed in 2004.Plan no: 10.103 {11/03/2005 KTOOTELL}
Composition: Foundation step or threshold comprising unworked CBM, flint, sandstone, chalk, and iron slagSize of materials: CBM  - 188mm x 188mm x 55mm (average), 225mm x 497mm x 60mm (max);  Flint - Irregular and variable 40mm x 40mm (min), 102mm x 102mm (max);  Sandstone - Irregular, angular 40mm x 90mm (min), 255mm x 160mm (max);  Chalk - Irregular, angular 70mm x 70mm (min), 102mm x 76mm (max);  Iron slag - one piece only 60mm x 60mmTop course of threshold was bonded by a black, coarse, hard material. The middle course was bonded by a yellow / brown coarse, granular soft material. The lower course was bonded by a black / brown coarse granular soft materialDirection of faces: SE - NW {11/03/2005 KTOOTELL}
