Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: floor deposit 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 1.24 m E-W x 0.66 m N-S x 1.6 mm depth 

Discussion: Uneven floor which laps up the side of platform in SE corner of space 117, building 2. Partly worn away to underlying deposits in places. Varies between 1 mm and 60 mm in thickness, with the beige bits very uneven with at least two depressions (?) being curved and its surface levelled to some extent.

* Obsidian fragment x-find has been taken for scientific analysis and should not be handled or washed. It is a square flake and requires analysis for possible wood-cutting residue. 

Recognition: Area of distinct beige floor deposit around N+W edge of platform in SE corner of space 117.
