Unit 10983

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: TP 

Interpretive Categories: wall plaster 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

Dimensions: 1.40x0.06 

Discussion: This is a plaster on southern wall of space 248. It is placed on three courses of mudbricks that remained southern wall of space 248 (unit 10985). It was relatively well preserved and c. 3 cm thick.

The wall plaster in central section of the wall was probably made at the same time as two horizontaly placed plasters covering human remains in space 248.

This plaster is not layered which indicates that it was made at once rather than formed as a result of yearly plastering of the wall as known from earlier phases.
