Category: Layer dug in 2015

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: plaster; Deposition: heterogeneous
Discussion: Unit 21798 is another compound white plaster layer belonging to bench F.3439. This unit is highly layered and consists dozen of one millimeter layers of white plaster. Unit 21798 consisted of fine remnants of red pigment on flat surface on the bench (see also u.21791). These layers of plaster were previously sealed by another white/grayish remnants of plaster activity (U. 21791, u. 21719) Unit 21798 was previously sealing/looping up onto main platform f. 3440 on its N side and small platform on the other. Based on stratigraphical relation with plaster layers from the E wall containing geometrical pattern painting. We assume that the platform events on the bench were slightly later than the latest painting activities carried out on the wall surface (f.5014).
