Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: This is another layer of floor in central room of Space 594. This layer was excavated in two phases. Firstly, it involved lifting, largerly arbitrarly, very uneven irregular surface with numerous layers of dirty plaster, black patchy layer followed by internal layer of a grey plaster. It implies two distnict ways of the floor use. Secondly, it involved excavating very uneven and irregular deposits, especially in eastern part of the unit, where is was possible to distinguish four internal layers of plaster and make-up. It may be indicative of few sequences of reusing this floor. In western part of the unit, additional orange layer of make-up appeared.
