Unit 30917

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: make up platform 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white)

Discussion: This unit is situated on the east platform of the building, covering the entire platform. The unit was bounded by the edges of the platform. While excavating the grey makeup down to the plaster layer below, we discovered that there was a thin layer of plaster and then another layer of makeup in between unit 20917 and the plaster layer we were following. These middle plaster and make up layers were not in every part of the platform, but just various spots- most of the spots being in the center of the platform. We decided to group these into this unit so we excavated a layer of makeup, plaster and make up on some part of the platform all together. This unit was in phase with the makeup (unit 30956) we removed from the bench and the makeup (unit 30921) on the platform in the northeast corner we are also removing.
