Unit 20838

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: makeup on side of platform 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: Compact massive makeup layer on side of platform. The material is clearly mixed with organic material (dung?) visible as small white fibers throughout the layer and as a fibery surface towards plaster u.20831. In the interface toward u.20831 there was also a thin lens or surface with inclusions of soot and small charcoal particles, but this could rather be interpreted as the surface of the plaster.
