Raised platform area at north centre of building 65. It is lower than platforms 2089 and 2088, however, higher than the surface the hearth is contained in.
It appears to have two surfaces seperated by an ash levelling make-up 14012.
From archive report, 2006:
Platform 2096
Removal of the upper plaster surface (13379) revealed ash dump, (14012), and clay levelling deposit, (14037), both of which were removed. As the ash deposit was so discrete and lay directly under platform conforming to its limits, it can only be assumed this ‘midden-like’ deposit had been located elsewhere and brought in as make-up material rather than being a primary deposit. The plaster make-up of small ‘bench’ F.2098 also lay above ash deposit (14012), except for a small circular area lying directly beneath the ‘bench’. This ‘clear’ area contained cluster (14009) with stones, crystal fragments and a bone point, its nature suggesting the cluster might have been contained within a bag and deposited at the same time as ashy material (14012). |
