Unit 12918

Category: Layer    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: floor make up and plaster floors to bin 

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

Discussion: The lower unit of the southern¬most bin along the west wall of space 276. The unit consisted of a series of alternating layers of reddish mudbrick type material and plaster lens which were a sequence of make¬up layers and corresponding plaster surfces forming the base of the bin. The plaster lens varied between about 1mm to 2cm thick, the surfaces tended to be thinner rather than thick and I fiound that when I tried to follow some of these suraces with the trowel it was very easy just to trowel them away.
