Unit 20044

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

 

Area: South 

 

Interpretive Categories: highly burned platform layer 

 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

 

Discussion: This unit consisted of a highly burned and quite friable layer. In terms of consistence this layer was well apparent. Otherwise in the case of colour. This quite compound layer sealed a more prominent and better preserved plastered one. The reason why excavated this sequence as just one compound layer was intense fire damage. Cause of that some parts of this unis have a different colour but the same or at least similar consistence. This highly damaged layer seems to be one of the most external layer of this platform F.3437.
