Unit 2156

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plaster 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: painted

Dimensions: 0.4 x 0.1m, 0.04 m Th. 

Discussion: Multiple layers of white plaster over a grey packing on the south face of platform F13; 2 identified phases of red paint amongst the later applications. Thickness of packing changes-- thickest at SE corner (c.8mm), thus out to nothing at the western end. Possible dome of the plaster layers may be contemporary with [2102] though it does seem as if some of the latter at least is later then [2156]. Possible corresponding E side was never plastered, or has been truncated.
Recorded in '96 as [1932].
