Unit 32724

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Grouped plaster layers 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: - Layer 32724 refers to the terribly truncated plasters and make-ups coating the NW-platform F.7722. The strata were grouped under one unit no. in order to accelerate the excavation process. As such, the layer composed of several laminations that go as follows (from the most upper one): white plaster (1mm), grey make-up (2mm), white plaster (2mm), grey-brownish make-up (3mm), grey make-up (2cm), white plaster (1mm), grey make-up (1mm). The presented above laminations represent the upper coating sequence that was recorded on top of the platform. However, they cannot be regarded as the youngest layers set on the protruded area F.7722, because the latest white coating had been presumably destroyed by the post retrieval activities related with the pit F.7723 in the NW-corner of the Sp.531.
Nevertheless layers that were recognized along the Eastern part of the Platform as well as on its sloping edge must be considered as the last that were afterwards covered to the east by the newly constructed platform F.7733. As such the unit 32724 represent the sequence of occupation related with the floors 32099 and 32701. And the plaster U.32725 recorded below U.32724 should stratigraphicaly go with 32090 in the central part of the Sp.531.

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.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded  

Finds Material Stored: nothing recorded
