Unit 30529

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plaster on the bench 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bench; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: Fine layer of plaster preserved in the E part of the bench covering S side, the E end the top of the bench F7118. It forms a smooth surface at the E but gets more irregular and patchy towards the W. At the W end of the bench it is preserved only in a narrow fragment above the floor and eventually disappears completely. I seems to be contemporary or earlier than the floor layers exposed S of it. We are not sure whatever it is the same as the plaster layers found at the N edge of the platform F2177 from which some (U20672 and U20673) are thought to belong to the bench.

Not excavated in 2013.

Addition after excavation in 2014
The underlaying layers is composite and consists of U21381/21382 as well as the core U30501. It might have been one of the latest re-plasterings. The unit was excavated using trowel.
