Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Plaster floor & make up below 32371 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: dark grey clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: 2-3 floor surfaces & make up below floor surface 32371 & bounded by edges of platform 7950. As with other floors on the platform, a large amount of botanical material can be seen from impressions within the matrix of the plaster floors which seems to have been used as a temper or binding material (see priority descriptions for 32344, 32365 & 32371).

Make up consists primarily of crushed, burnt brick material or clay, presumably gathered from derelict buildings in the area.
