Description

Sediment sample 4.22 was collected on the 1.7.2019 and had an original volume of 25 litres. It derives from trench/area T90, locus 21. The sample was floated on the 13.7.2022. The light fraction showed a low abundance of charred plant remains, further details on its content can only be assessed in the future. The heavy fraction was sorted on the 21.7.2022. 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, and pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris were found and entirely recovered. In the >3mm fraction charcoal and shell bone were recovered. The presence of pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris, bone, and slags was noted, but as fragments were non-diagnostic they were not recovered. In the >1mm fraction charcoal, shell, pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris, bone and hammerscale were recovered.
