Area: South

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: white clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: This unit is a part of the floor located on the central-western area, where the floors were truncated by a long cut documented and excavated during the 2012 season. The section shows two hornes and plaster probably belonging to a bucranium, so we decided to do a rectangular sondage in this area aims to removed the several floors and uncover the bucranium. The unit is a first part of floor that we excavated. On the surface the colour is white because the layer is made of plaster (3 cm) and below there is the make up, light brown and grey, made of pure clay and massive (5 cm).
It was excavated by leaf trowel with a help of a specialist of the conservation team.
