Description

Sediment sample 2.22 was collected on the 19.7.2019 and had an original volume of 23.5 litres. It derives from trench/area T90, soil resting directly atop Epoc 4 floor, locus 25. 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 18.7.2022. 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, pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris, and slags were found and entirely recovered. Furthermore, one uncharred chickpea was found. It has to be further assessed in the future whether they are of ancient origin or modern intruders. In the >3mm fraction charcoal, mollusc shell, bone, and hammerscale were recovered. Of bone only diagnostic fragments were recovered. The presence of pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris was noted, but as fragments were non-diagnostic they were not recovered. In the >1mm fraction charcoal, bone, and hammerscale were recovered. The presence of pottery/terracotta/clay-based debris was noted, but as fragments were non-diagnostic they were not recovered.
