Unit 15399
Category: Layer dug in 2012
Area: Trench 5
Interpretive Categories: Plaster Floor
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: EW: 30 cm; NS: 12 cm; Depth: 3 cm
Discussion: This unit (15399) is the lowest lying of the complex of plaster floors unearthed in the northern half of sp. 446, and hence it might be (if we discount u. 16927) the initial plaster floor surface on the area, which was replastered, as represented by u. 15395, 15371, 15398 (or even u. 16927). This unit is located under u. 15371 in the central area of floors and continues toward the east, under floor u. 15398 (hence the limits of 15399 in both of these directions are unknown). Towards the south, this floor disappears and to the west we find u. 15395 lying at a higher level and not related to 15399. A further reason why these two units are probably not related to each other is that while 15395 has a dark orange brown color, 15399 is pale yellow and bumpier.
