Unit 30532

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: plaster and very thick makeup 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: plaster

Discussion: Layer 30532 is very particular in platfom F.3695 due to its very thick make up. This layer is foundational. It raises the level and extend the surface of the platform on top of an old platform (F.7606), thus creating F.3695 in top of F.7606. This event of construction of a new platform on top of an old one is contemporary of the change of phase in space 94 by the construction of a new floor (F.2176) which also has a very thick foundational make up layer (u.30539).
Layer 30532 is also covering burial F.7605 made within platform F.7606 but not plastered. This burial can be seen either as a termination event of F.7606 or a foundational event of F.3695.

Note on samples:
Flotation samples S2 and S3 are really no different, but separated into two samples by mistake. 

Consistency: friable in burnt areas. Firm elsewhere 

Colour: light brown makeup. Whitish grey plaster 

Texture: silt for plaster. Silty clay for makeup 

Bedding: massive make up layer, layered plaster 

Inclusions: charcoal small less 2%

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.
