Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

 

Discussion: It was defined first during last year's season (2012). Then they thought it might be a platform. When rediscovering it this year it became clear however that this unit should be considered a collapse and rubble of plaster, most probably connected to the feature 3688. It was excavated with trowel and was thicker in the south. Also more homogenous there, but overall it consisted of plaster and clay. One nice bead was found near F7306. This unit was made/deposited before the room was filled with u.20481.
