Unit 14422

Category: Layer    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: surface of platform 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 0.96m (N-S) x 0.45m (E-W) 

Discussion: At least 4 floor layers taken down as one layer. Floor sıtuated ın SE corner of buıldıng 49 - space 100, floors on platform rısıng up towards SE where ladder scars have prevıously been detected.
When excavatıng ıt became clear that the plaster floors were very patchy and ıt was therefore decıded to take the floors down to next larger floor area that could be seen ın plan = dark brown dırty floor.
