Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: dark grey clay; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: unpainted

 

Discussion: Dirty floors in spaces 316 (southern room) and 313 (north west room) - the relationship was not clear, but these may be continuations with (14618) dirty floor to the west.

*some pinkish red make up was associated with the dirty occupation surface and was removed with it as a single unit…

There were patches of thing white plaster under the dirty floor layer, these were either worn away or scoured away before the dirty floor was put down. The thickness of the floor also varied greatly from 1mm to about 1cm. The floor was very damaged and cemented to the layer beneath making it hard to remove, especially as only one layer. The floor beneath is heavily patched up, so there are lots of patches of different types of floor.
