Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: hearth; Deposition: homogeneous

 

Discussion: This is a layer of make up in a hearth. On the surface a rectangular cut was visible, as well as plaster around it. It has not been explored yet.
The layer of makeup was very thin, similar to the layer of burnt below, so it was probably also used for a short time period.
More interesting question is why they made plastered cut in this layer. But there is no answer for this question for now. For more information look to F.7131.
