Unit 2096

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floors,infill 

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

Dimensions: c. 1.7 x 1.3 x 0.05 

Discussion: Under layers 2079, 2086, and 2046 (respectively layered surfaces in SW of 112; mixed massive deposit to N; and discrete plaster surfaces in centre W) were remnant plaster surfaces, ashy lenses and brownish lumpy ?platform fill. These deposits were removed as a single unit down to a cleaner brown fill equivalent to 2013 (to the East).

As in 2046 floor remnants slope down markedly against W wall of 112.
