Unit 12131

Category: Layer    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Displaced Plaster Feature 

Data Category Information: In Situ: non in-situ; Location: building; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Plaster seemed to represent coherent feature, with one slid vertical side and undercutting by rodent hole truncating opposite. Was not parallel to walls and was floating on fill. Looked like someone threw an intact bin in with the room fill. Took out in order to excavate to floor.
In retrospect, may ave been something like the "work platform" Roddy found near his hearth, except this one is displaced. 

Recognition: Large chunk of solid plaster in heterogeneous fill 

Definition: Very different content from surroundings -> color, etc. 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: hot, rushed execution 

Consistency: compact 

Colour: light whitish grey 

Texture: clay/plaster 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions: none 

Post-depositional Features: rodent burrow 

Basal Boundary: clear return to motled fill; fairly horizontal
