Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

 

Discussion: Plaster surfacing to southern face of bench F1503 appears to be made up of several very thin layers closest to bench face, a thicker deposit of plaster and then several more thin layers on outer face.
(10442) would therefore appear to relate to a refurbishing of the bench and is probably related to resurfacing deposit (10441) on platform F1510.
Two pieces of obsidian found in plaster also!
So at similar time to platform F1510 being replastered and raised/extended, bench F1503 also being replastered.
