Unit 32081

Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floor (use) 

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

Discussion: A surfaces of use which was immersed within ‘make-up-like’ layer on the southern extension of NW-platform (F.7733) had been recorded under single unit no. 32081. The deposit sat on badly preserved patchy white plaster. Its characteristic shares close resemblances to a dirty floor (?). The latter implies intensive use of the raised area in the Western part of Sp.531. Unfortunately, the actual nature of the past doings might be difficult to examine due to extensive truncation, related with Post-retrieval pit (F.7873) placed to the West.
From stratygraphical point of view the unit 32081 can be related with others explored layers within the interior (which can be enumerated here as follow: 32075, 32080, 32076).

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.
