Unit 4164

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: plaster rendering 

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

Dimensions: 1.34m E-W x 1.26m N-S. Thickness 1 to 3 cm . 

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 here when in use. At the north of the platform the plaster laps up over the plaster on the north wall of sp117 , F64 3798/2394. 

Recognition: Clear white deposit over much of F288 

Definition: Mostly limited to platform F288 though clearly partly lapping over plaster on N wall of Sp 117 

Execution: Trowel from edges 

Condition: Dry and hard though partly worn away 

Consistency: Firm 

Colour: White 

Texture: Silty clay 

Bedding: Massive 

Inclusions: Occasional Charcoal flecks<2%
