Discussion: This is a very clearly visible plaster layer of platform F. 3855. The plaster was not preserved in northern part as it had been badly destroyed by a Hellenistic pit. Two darker spots were registered on the plaster surface in its central part. The layer was pretty soft and very easy to remove. The unit in its western part was made of two layers of plaster and one layer of make-up while the plaster in eastern part was pretty homogenous and lacked any distinct striations.
