Discussion: Layer of white plaster in burial platform F.638. The unit is sloping towards the S (ca.10º). Under this layer lies a red clay deposit (massive structure, very compact) which seems to be the base of the platform.
The layer of plaster varied in thickness from few milimeters to 2cm, and this seems to be the result of the action of surface smoothing for the infill of superficial uneveness.
