Unit 30908

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Plaster platform 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: single; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: This unit is localized in the corner of the highest platform in north-east side of the building 89. The layer is charcaterized by a white colour and it is made of plaster. Its consistency is compact and the bedding is massive. We recognized this layer as a part of the second plaster level that covered the surface of the platform. On the plan of the platform we removed this layer at the same time of the unit 19866, so this unit 30908 covered the unit 19874, first burial infill of the cut 19880. The unit was excavated by leaf trowel.
