Unit 32031

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: combined plastered floors and make ups 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: Arbitrary layers of plastered floors and make ups. This unit was same as with the U.32020 in terms of the excavated layers on SE. While U.32020 was consisted of discontinuedplaster, mid brown make-up, orange make-up, greyish make-up respectively, U.32031 was consisted of discontinued plaster, mid brown and orange make-up mixed, greyish make-up (dirty floor). According to my interpretation, SE of U.32020 and U.32031 (U.32031 is as same as U.32020) are used a lot so that layers are trampled. Phytholith samples (S4-S5) on the NW part of the unit showed that there were two baskets between make-ups made of only one material and according the specialists, they might have been full of grass (wheat, barley). This may suggests that the baskets were used as storages. Another important point is that the excavation of this unit combined northern and southern platforms of B.132 on west.
