Interpretive Categories: wall plaster 

 

Data Category Information: Description: 60's

 

Dimensions: 0.6 x 0.2 x 0.04 m 

 

Discussion: Wall plaster found below (4122) feature 410. Wall collapsed from the east falling ntact face down, hence plaster face below bricks and mortar. Covers an irregular area and probably shattered on impact, though (4122) retained its form with little impact movement.

Plaster up to 4cm thick with odd traces of red and black paint, but nothing contiguous and nothing retrievable. Plaster consists of laminations of pale grey brown mud undercoat with lime plaster wash. See sample 3 for plaster count.

Plaster probably continues below (4123) which would indicate a continuous plaster face through two phases of wall
