Description Sediment sample 27.22 had an original volume of 27 litres, the date of recovery was not noted. It derives from trench/area T26, locus 3. The sample was floated on the 25.7.2022. 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 29.7.2022. It was divided into a >6mm, >3mm, and >1mm fraction. Of the >6mm and >3mm fraction 100% were sorted, the >1 mm fraction was subsampled, and only 25% were sorted. Variety of arte- and geofacts was high. In the >6mm fraction bone, pottery/terracotta, and slags were found and entirely recovered. In the >3mm fraction charcoal, mollusc shell, and hammerscale were recovered. The presence of pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris and bone fragments was noted, but as fragments were non-diagnostic they were not recovered. Furthermore, one seed was recovered, either a cereal or a large-seeded wild grass. In the >1mm fraction charcoal, bone, mollusc shell, and hammerscale were recovered. The presence of pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris was noted, but as fragments were non-diagnostic they were not recovered.
