Unit 19660

Category: Layer    dug in 2011

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: plaster surface + make up on platform 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: EW- 2.00 m NS- 2.65 m Depth= 0.02m - 0.10 m 

Discussion: Plaster surface over platforms + bench excavated with make up layer. This make up layer was thickest over the bench where it over layer an earlier less well surviving bench that had suffered from wear. This changed the alignement of the bench slightly. The make up layer was also thick over the eastern central platforms filling in slumping. The makeup layer also forms a step at the east end of platform F.3457.
