Description: | Clay floor |
Notes: | Large clay floor associated with large hearth. Original plan was to remove all the green clay as one, despite multiple layers being visible in the hearth section. Revised plan as of 17/08/03 was to take it down to the silt, gravel and tile demolition layer which seems to form a boundary between the upper and lower clays. N.B: floor seems to overlie and thus post date walls of similar alignment. Strat below (4799). Same as (4836) and (4222). Partially removed in 2003. Plan no: 20.117, 20.166, 21.148, 28.139, 28.140, 29.143, 29.144, 29.145, 29.146 |
