Unit 10685

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: platform layer 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

Discussion: what I originally thought was one layer developed into 2 or 3, virtually indistuingishable form each other/ Platform seems ot be developing into layers like the floor, not like a platform created and replastered occasionally. A clear plaster face remains agaisnt the bench, but are many floors revelaed to southern end. Pillaster appears to be freed up now (later proved to be wrong). Is severe slumping in corners and aroud the South edge, where it dips dramatically in the corners. While southern end is also lower than the north end. Later related to 11200, plaster layer on platform edge
