Unit 32020

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plastered floors and make-ups 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: U.32020 refers to the arbitrary plastered floors and make up layers covering F.7733 NW platform of B.132. This unit consists of several make-ups and plasters. It is important to note that these floors were from the last phase of use of the building. Since they are used and trampled a lot, make-ups and plasters were not easy to define separately and were also different in terms of sequence of layering on SE and NW of the unit. While discontinued plaster, mid brown make-up, orange make-up and dirty floor were situated respectively on SE of the unit ; on NW part of the unit, discontinuedplaster, orange make-up, plaster, mid brown make-up, plaster, mid brown make-up, dirty floor were situated. It seems that the missing 2 layers of make-ups and plasters might be an evidence of more usage (walking and working) on SE of the unit. The layers were mostly silty and each make-up on SE is sampled. Floors were sloping from north through to east and south.
