Unit 8154

Category: layer    dug in 2001

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: wall plaster 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 52 cm X 152 cm 

Discussion: This unit consists of the red and white plaster layers located on F. 160. In the corner, 3 layers of plaster were uncovered. The outermost layer (mainly higher on the wall) was separated by a ~3mm layer of white plaster from the next layer. The middle layer had a darker red than the other layers (perhaps due to the fact that it was covered?). This section was behind S3 - a relief section which shows the many layers of paint and plaster. This sample was part of a pillar, the most recent construction on F. 160/ Ther was only 7L collected for this unit.

EDM points showing:
lowest extent of the middle layer of red plaster - 1054.46, 1189.58, 1012.05
1054.13, 1189.43, 1012.00
lowest extent of the inner layer of red plaster- 1054.47, 1189.56, 1012.05
lowest extent of the outer layer of red plaster- 1054.52, 1189.76, 1012.10

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.
