Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: A floor surface on the platform 3342, with a thin makeup preparation. This floor is an occuption layer on tha platform in th bilding 80. The floor surface is so clean and white and the makeup so thin.

I took-off a floor layer on te platform 3442. The makeup layers was very thin (1-2 cm), so I took them off as one layer:
