Short Description:
Disturbed/spilt out rubble core of wall 2345
Issued to
Elizabeth Tutty | 21/09/2022

Interpretation

    • This material likely represents the disturbed/spilt out rubble core of wall 2345. Truncated by later activity, this deposit is probably the same rubble core as (2403) but was kept separate to ensure no contamination of later material would be present within the samples taken of the undisturbed wall core (2403). It appears to have spilt out on to crushed orangey sandstone layer (2432) - probably a pre-construction levelling layer.
