Platform centrally placed along eastern wall of building 56. Cut away at east so full extent not revealed..The surface of the platform slopes down slightly from the NW a more pronouced slumping is apparent near the centre of the platform (grave?). The platform is surfaced with a white plaster.
From Archive Report 2006:
Only one plaster surface, (12823) was discerned coating this platform during excavation, this lying over a make-up layer (12856). Beneath this was located a deposit of human bones, F.2081, that lay within a possible small cut. The disarticulated bones appear to represent at least one adult individual (12863), possibly female, mixed with that of a child (12876). The bones would appear to have been collected elsewhere and deposited within the platform, possibly contained within a bag given the configuration and constrained nature of bone deposit. Two mud-bricks were also seen lying either side of the bone deposit and may have been used as packing around the bones, prior to the application of the upper platform surfaces. As mentioned above the primary construction make up of the platform was shared with
bench F.2056. |
