Unit 20957

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Plastered base of basin 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: basin; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: This plaster floor/base was recognized under fill u.20925 and grey lining u.20993. It was probably disturbed in its northernmos tpart, as only similar fill-like mass was found there (u.20981).

This plaster was laid on a levelled surface and represents most likely the first phase of usage of this basin. It was quite big and rectangular when disregarding postdepositional disturbances and cuts. It gives the feeling of a platform as well in this sense. 

Consistency: Compact, packed, hard with trowel 

Colour: greyish white 

Texture: Clay 

Bedding: Massive layer of plaster 

Inclusions: None specific
