Unit 21312

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plaster layer (painted red) and thick make up 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: plaster

Discussion: This unit was recognized due to the obvious color change from make up of u.30528 above, as it had been painted red.

Layer u.21312 seems to be the foundational layer of platform F.3694. It had a very thick make up layer (just like u.30532 for platform F.3695) which has raised the level and distinguate platform F.3694 from platform F:7617.

This foundational layer is very probably contemporary of the making of floor F.2176 in space 94, also a very thick make up layer, which marks a new phase in b 52.

U.21312 is painted red, which is not the case of the top layers of F.3694.

Note on samples:
Flotation samples S2 and S3 are really no different, but separated into two samples by mistake.
