Unit 1799

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Fill 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit

Dimensions: 1.00m NS x 1.40m EW 

Discussion: Following 1775 which had revealed a line of plaster, 1799 was taken in this area. A plaster basin (F134) was uncovered. The basin abutted the platform (f120) as well as a northern platform which is not yet clearly defined. The face of the basin is carefully covered with plaster which continues the plaster of floor 117, so these two features seem to be contemporaneous.
Although the assumed north platform is not yet clearly defined, the part of platform 120 revealed by 1789 to the east, shows a surface of plaster which is smeared against a vertical face. This should be the face of the assumed north platform.
