Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: grey plaster floor on platform 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: dark grey clay; Deposition: single

Discussion: Grey plaster floor, it might be the first earliest plastering (phase I) on the platform F3442. Very smooth, and has the same clay texture of the plaster floor U21276 on the platform F3441. This tow plaster floors are clearly contemporary and represents the original foundation construction of the platforms. We remark also that the colors and texture of the mudbricks of eastern wall in the building same as of the platforms. That suggest and confirm the earliest foundations construction for the building 80. If we accept this effects, that’s signify, the tow plaster floors contemporary with earliest floor (level 1) U21281 and the fire installation in the southern area U21282 which were exposed in 2017 but has not excavated.
