Unit 10408

Category: layer    dug in 2004

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: plaster surface 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: multiple

Description: Fast track 

Discussion: Upper plaster surface of platform F.1502. Extends over entire platform apart from grave/basin F1505 and animal disturbance. Abbuts platform F1501, abbuts and slightly lips up against eastern wall F826. It is also thicker and more compact in this area (possibly less wear and tear?). Abuts bench F1503, very slight lipping in places. Western edge of plaster is formed of a large lump 6cm thick which lips over the edge. Plaster continues down western face of platform, slightly extending both onto platform F1501 and bench F1503, but patchy and difficult to follow in places, as only 1cm or less in thickness.
Plaster friable and eroded on western half of platform (wear and tear?) on E half plaster made up of similar thicker chaff rich layer 1cm thick but with several very thin skims of plaster on surface.
