Unit 30141

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plaster 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: plaster; Deposition: layered (wall plaster); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: The plaster U.30141 that is placed on the northern face of the wall F.3679 was exposed partially in 2013, but its distinctiveness might be already presented and registered. The unit comprises of a number of layers within whom the smoked coat is well noticeable. The latter particularity is emblematic taking into consideration that the plaster is set on the southern wall of a bigger structure and we can expect an fire installation under the room-fill deposit.

2015 excavation season:

In the course of the excavation process in 2015 season an urgent need appeared to record and execute the overhung fragment of the plaster (30141) in order to facilitate further identification of the edges of (?)niche/crawl-hole [7856] within SW corner of the B.132, Sp. 531. For that reasons, the latter research activities focused on collecting two additional samples: S2 - Flotation 15 L and S3 - Phytoliths (according to botanical protocol 0,02 L).

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.
