Unit 4160

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: platform make up 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mortar; Deposition: layered (wall plaster)

Dimensions: 0.52m N-S x 0.15m E-W. Thickness 2cm 

Discussion: Patchy remaining plaster covering the initial first phase core of platform F288. Initially would have covered the whole of the first phase core 4166 and appears to have been thicker on the vertical sides of the platform rather than the flat, horizontal surface, though may have been heavily eroded there when in use. At the north of the platform the plaster laps up over the plaster on the north wall of space 117, F64 (3798 / 2394)

Small patch of dark coloured platform make-up for F288, directly overlying the first phase core plaster of the feature.
