Discussion: Unit is a compound plastering event of bench F. 7415. It consists of multiple layers of eroded and slightly burned plaster layers which cover the entire bench. It is removed in order to unlock the inner make-up core of the bench. It should be noted that several small paint fragements were identified especially on the w-facing side of the upper part of the bench, and the s-facing side of the upper part near the remnant bucrania as well. They appeared to be highly eroded patches and did not form a kind of design and therefore could not really be traced. They were removed as part of the compound unit.
