| | Area: TPC | | | | Dug in Year: 2013 | | Feature Type: floor | | Feature Subtype: | | | | Location: S half of TPC trench 3 -- entirety of space 509 | | | | Grid X: 951.54 Grid Y: 949.9 | | | | This is the floor associated with space 509, the interior of the Roman (?) building in TPC trench 3. It was overlain by u. 30246, which either represents an occupation layer or the deposit associated with the building's destruction and abandonment. At the bottom of this unit (on top of the floor), there was a homogeneous layer of essentially pure charcoal which likely represented matting on the floor (or, alternatively, roofing material which fell and burned). Remnants of plaster remain in some sparse places, suggesting the whole floor may have been plastered when the building was in use. It was also plastered at its base, as we discovered upon excavation of u. 30273-- which may have been an initial attempt at flattening what was an extremely uneven cut into Neolithic building material, [30299]. None of this plaster was preserved enough for it to be removed as a separate layer, however. The plaster on the floor of this building represents a fair amount of investment into the architecture of this building, suggesting it may have been fairly important. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Feature Relationships: | | below: (Click to view the record) 3993, 7150, 7151, 7152 | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 1 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
