Unit 31188

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: fill 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This unit was the thickest fill in the multiplaster structure of surface 454. Up to 1 cm, it was quite heterogeneous and contained pottery, bones and obsidian shatter and some small stones, which already more than in all other layers together. It is under plaster 31192 and above 31181, the burnt orange plaster layer. The thickness could indicate a larger elapsed time between plasterings or a lack of cleaning.

For the general context see 31142, 31174 and 31181.
