Sediment sample T90-9-55 was recovered in 2017, its original volume was 31 litres. It derives from T90, locus 9. The sample was floated in 2018, details on its content can only be assessed in the future. The heavy fraction was likewise sorted in 2018. It was divided into a >6mm, >3mm, and >1mm fraction. Of the >6mm and >3mm fraction 100% were sorted, the >1mm fraction was subsampled and only 25% were sorted. Variety of arte- and geofacts was high. In the >6mm fraction charcoal, bone, slags, and pottery/terracotta were recovered. In the >3mm fraction charcoal, bone, hammerscale, and pottery/terracotta were recovered.
