Unit 23757

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: platform plaster and make-up layers 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: pise-like; Deposition: heterogeneous

Description: Another layer of plaster and two make-ups from platform f.7177 

Discussion: This unit recognized as another plaster of the platform and two make-up layers sitting beneath. Distinguished two make-up layers are different in soil consistency, colour and inclusions. Upper one was much more homogeneous, compact and cement-colour, the lower one was distinguished by its heterogeneity. This layer was sealed by two layers of thick make-up (aprox 2 cm each) and one thin plaster (U.23778). Unit 23757 as the whole platform (F.7177) was badly truncated to the south by some later activity (destruction cut U.30877). It’s more than possible that the majority of the entire structure is running into the west edge of the trench. This architectural structure was recognized merely based on the elongated fragment measured 1.380 x 0.260 m abutting the wall F.3878 to the N and the platform F.7173 to the E. 

Consistency: Compact 

Colour: whitish plaster layer; grey make-up; dark brown second make-up 

Texture: silty-clay 

Bedding: Layered 

Inclusions: charcoal bits 

Post-depositional Features: roots activity, post-Neolithic truncation to the South 

Basal Boundary: constructional, very clear, distinct contrast between all layers, smooth surface and form

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
