Unit 32059

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plaster 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: Unit 32059 was assigned to fragmentarily preserved plaster layers that covered eastern face of the mud-brick structure F.7727 adjacent to the N-wall (F.7584) of B.132. Diminutive scope of the recorded plasters and their state of preservation were related with the activities that took place within Sp.531 during the abandonment phase that was involved with general demolition of the room. In particular the devastation proceedings truncated the Northern part of the building and consequently caused demolition of the presented plasters. Accordingly the major truncation in mentioned spot resulted from the cut U.31580 that referred to post-retrieval pit (F.7724).
Under the unit number (U.32059) there were 3 layers of white plasters identified and then explored. Between them there was no make-up layers evidenced. The subsequent plastering episodes could be distinguished upon slight difference in the shades of white colour. The combined layer covered mainly E-face of the column (?) F.7727. However it extended to the south coating also surface of floor. As such it was regarded as remains of the heavily destroyed plasters in Northern part of the Building.

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
