Interpretive Categories: Plaster layer 

 

Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: white clay; Deposition: single

 

Discussion: Layer of plaster found under the mudbick deposit (8001)

This deposit was thought to be more extensive (I.e. covering the whole bench) but on excavation was revealed to be limited to the eastern half of the bench. This was realised as during excavation 2 features appeared (a small brown/red deposit) and an edge (the edge of an earlier phase of bench - feature 1304). The deposit underneath is almost identical and had no clear boundary with this unit. 

 

Recognition: Sharp contrast to deposit above 

Definition: colour 

Execution: trowelled in plan 

Condition: hot but rather pleasant 

Consistency: friable 

Colour: creamy white 

Texture: clayey silt 

Bedding: massive

Post-depositional Features: possible root disturbance 

Basal Boundary: diffuse, faint
