Discussion: Plaster on “tall skinny” bin F. 3613. The unit was beige in colour and layered with fine plastered lenses, differing from the make-up (U. 19550) below it. The plaster covered mainly three parts of the bin boundaries, one in the northeastern corner, another in the southern slopes of the feature, and a third in the northwestern corner. It was excavated by leaf trowel. An intriguing round and well polished worked bone artifact was found in the northwestern corner of the unit and was x-finded. The recognition and function of this artifact is unclear and it was removed in pieces.

Texture: Silty. 

Bedding: Massive, discontinuous.
