Unit 21397

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plaster layer + make-up 

Data Category Information: Description: very mixed

Description: Heavily disturbed by fire and erosion 

Discussion: Layer exposed in 2014 season and excavated in 2015. Unit is a part of F. 7638. This is arbitrary layer because it's several layers and very patchy and layered. Because of the burning and erosion it is heterogenous. Fragments of plaster and location on the platform suggest that it's probably a floor. Also make-up layer is appeared. From the western to eastern part of this unit the consistency, texture and colour is gradually changed. It is definitely more ashy and friable.
