Unit 30133
Category: Layer dug in 2013
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: Floor
Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)
Discussion: This floor is composed of a series of plaster and make-up layers. It sits beneath U. 30111 and extends some centimeters to the east. Up to 5 layers of beige/white plaster and grey make-up were excavated. The grey make-up layer on top was followed by 4 more layers, alternating between beige/white plaster and grey to greyish brown make-up. The earlier layer uncovered was a plaster one and it was extended to most of the surface of the unit, being very clear to follow from the middle to the south western part and more difficult to follow in the southeastern portion. The number of layers uncovered in the southeastern lowered to 2 or 3. The soil was soft for excavatiion, except for the northern area, where it was much more solid. Specs of charcoal were frequent in the southeastern end. In the northwestern part of the surface, a layer of orangish brown made of clay was apparent, and it was removed until reaching probably the same layer of beige/white plaster that was being followed since the beginning of excavation. The unit was excavated with leaf trowel (trowel was used sometimes in the northern portion where the soil was very firm).
