Context Number: | 6495 |
Description: | Clay levelling deposit |
Notes: | Clay levelling deposit covering both Room 1 and 2 of House 1, so is probably associated with an earlier phase. (6495) consists of three discrete clay patches. Due to overdigging, the original physical relationship between the two northern patches was lost and the assumption was made that they were same context based on their characteristics and stratigraphy. The third clay patch to the south (separated by pit [1044]) was also equated to (6495) as it overlay the same context. Strat below (4848). Strat above (6498). Butts [4208]. Cut by [1044]. Completely removed in 2005. Plan no: 20.262, 21.232 Sample no: 1286, 1287 Accuracy rating - 3 |
