Category: Layer    dug in 2010

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: platform plaster 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: single

Discussion: Upper white plaster on central east platform, not excavated 2010.
Plaster event in central/ eastern platform.
I recognized this unit, because of the plaster which looked like a separate event according to the surface which we found in the north. This platform already have a unit number, because it was excavated in 2010. Platform is lying on the eastern part of B. 80 and extends around bench (f. 3439) in the southern part of the building, floor (U. 18983) on the western side. Material was removed regularly and the excavation could help us to understand the relation between parts of make-up which was eroded and only small parts existed on the platform and also the bench (f. 3439). Yesterday we thought that the same plaster layer laid in f. 3440 and 3439, but for now our mind was changed. The plaster which laid in this two features is a differen event.
