Unit 5142

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Floor make-up,Levelling 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 2.75m e-w x 1.55m n-s x 0.05m thick 

Discussion: It seems most likely that this is some kind of levellig, perhaps accompanying a major shift in the room, possibly as oven F 555 went 'out of use'? The difference between 'levelling' and 'floor make-up' is small but I've put them both in interpretive category. There was some good hard white plaster on top it in places but nothing tangible-couldn't really say there was a floor/ surface on top.
