Category: layer    dug in 1996

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: roomfill 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: max N-S: 1.5 m, max E-W: 1.0 m, thickness: 0.01 m 

Discussion: Clearing up the area just North of oven (F 111) where 1717 had uncovered a heap of fallen plaster. The plaster is lifted and send to the water sieve. It appears there are two kinds of plaster: some rest on a grey substratum, which has curved shapes and shows at least two events of reconstruction, others on an orange layer with no intervening grey. The latter are normally thicker and appear more laminated than the plaster of the first group.
