Short Description:
Slow accumulation layer over natural showing roots
Issued to

1848

Interpretation

    • only occasional cultural material was found in this layer and the colour showed irregular mixing with the natural sand found below (much like context 28018). However it is a clear deposit above natural showing deep well formed incursions due to long rooting plants. This has probably been created through a period of flooding within feature 28001 which lasted long enough for plants to cement themselves within the layer, the presence of occasional shell and bone might indicate a human use of this feature
