Unit 3954

Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: material added behind plaster layers 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: mixed; Deposition: composite (floor/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 0.14 m E-W; 0.30 m N-S; 0.13 m thick 

Discussion: Layer excavated with layer (3794) appears to consist of material banked up against original plaster face and plastered in turn. The plaster 'face' of (3954) became thicker to the N. Floor layers of (3794) banked up against face of (3954) (although towards the N and in the edge of excavation these floors have become much less well defined, can no longer see multiple floors in section.) (3794) in turn is lying over a small unit of floors (3959). 

Recognition: Recognised during excavation of (3794), much of (3954) excavated with (3794), gradually thicker plaster face, browner material behind. 

Definition: To N by edge of excavation.
