Category: Layer    dug in 2016

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: white clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: This is a sequence of floors and platforms (Iin the nothern part of the room) covered with a whitish lime plaster.

Sequence of floors of the main room of the building exposed after remove the group of floors above U32626.
We remove a group of layers, at least three, all of them very thin that belongs to different phases of plastering with their make-up. It seems that all this floors layers were very patchy because had been impossible to follow properly any one of them. The floors were made with white plaster and the make-up was orange. Each one of this layers were less than 1 cm thick. The floor was pretty flat and in the southern part of the building is where was a bit best preserved.
We want to notice that with the same unit number we remove the remains of a platform (1.50 x 0.70 x .0.5 m) that was abutting the south phase of the partition wall. We took archive samples and also flotation samples for this element (S3-S4.) Included in the same unit there were the remains of a bench (S5-S6).
This layer is truncated by the burial U32636.
After remove this floor we exposed two possible baby burials in a basket and the F8173 that seems to be kind of foundation deposit. (11/05/2017 CB)
