Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: wall plaster 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: plaster; Deposition: layered (wall plaster); Basal Spit: painted

Dimensions: 4.56 E-W by 0.05 by 0.83m 

Discussion: (4512) encompassed both the south and north plaster faces of wall F482, and the lining of crawl-hole F530 - their construction being one process and integral to the construction of the wall itself. Toward the western limit of the plaster, are features within the plaster, currently under investigation, which may show additional phases of construction. These features are not yet numbered. There was no visible layering within (4512) - bedding was massive, so construction of the plaster face , presumably involved one application - with exception of the features.

Removal of the plaster have also continued in the W end of the wall where small patchy remains of the plaster left. Apart from the feature and the niches plastering the as it has been assumed unity / whole application to wall itself however replastering of the house might be as a whole.
