Description

Sediment sample 7.22 was collected on the 25.7.2018 and had an original volume of 20 litres. It derives from trench/area T92, locus 6. The sample was floated on the 14.7.2022. 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 28.7.2022. 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, slags, and pottery/terracotta were found and entirely recovered. The presence of wattle and daub fragments was noted, but not recovered. Furthermore, a nutshell fragment was found, possibly of hazelnut. In the >3mm fraction charcoal, diagnostic bone, shell, and hammerscale were recovered. The presence of bone fragments and pottery/terracotta was noted, but as fragments were non-diagnostic they were not recovered. In the >1mm fraction charcoal and hammerscale were recovered. The presence of pottery/terracotta was noted, but as fragments were non-diagnostic they were not recovered.
