Unit 21765

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

 

Area: South 

 

Interpretive Categories: Plaster floor layer on main platform 

 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: plaster; Deposition: heterogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

 

Discussion: Unit is a thick compound deposit of floors above a burial horizon in the main platform. Several layers are lumped into this context in order to excavate to a distinguishably different layer of plaster. In this case about 5 thin layers of flooring events were removed. They alternated between white plaster and slightly more gray plaster floors. We excavated down to a much more white, massive deposit of plaster. This unit represents the flooring event following a major burial horizon.
