Unit 30519

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: arbitratiy plaster layer of floor of the platform 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: plaster; Basal Spit: unpainted

Description: 8-12 layers of plaster/make-up was uncovered as an arbitrary unit. The condition for the layers included was that they where younger than F7118 but older than F7315/7316/7554. 

Discussion: Unearthed in 2013 after removal of the infill U 30506. Smooth but patchy, white plastered floor. It goes under the features F7315 and F7316 and might be the same as the floor surface unearthed on the other side of the partion wall F7315.
Not excavated in 2013.

Comments after excavation in 2014:
Arbitrary layer created in order to separate the plaster and make-up layers in this part of B52 into two chronological groups: Before and after the construction of the bench F7118. During the removal of the plaster an imprint of barley was found, made in the make-up layer (S.4).
