Unit 20653

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Plaster 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: plaster; Deposition: layered (wall plaster)

Discussion: This layer of plaster was constructed after the posthole (F. 2172) cut was made. When this unit was removed in 2013, it was highly eroded and very fragmentary since it had been partially exposed since the original excavation of Building 52 in 2005. The unit was further damaged during the removal of the bucranium (U.11963 of niche f.2175) adjacent to the posthole. Thus, no accurate coordinates/plan could be made, since most of the plaster covering the posthole collapsed. The remaining parts of this unit were sampled and then removed.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
