Interpretive Categories: Plaster fill 

 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: single; Basal Spit: unpainted

 

Description: Fast track 

 

Discussion: Small strip of plaster filling gap between two plaster surfaces, (10451) to N and (10408) to S. (10451) has a vertical face and platform F1502 (10408) has a sloping face (45 degrees approx.) so a gap 3cm wide and 2cm deep exists between them. This may have been deliberate or platform F1502 has slumped to leave this gap.
No gap was noted to west of 'niche' F1508. Obsidian blade fragment recovered from deposit - probably deliberate?
This deposit appears to represent a repair of platforms in much the same way sealant is put around a bath/sink etc to seal gap. 

 

Recognition: Small strip of plaster under make up layer (10448).
