Unit 2102

Category: layer    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: platform plaster 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: multiple

Dimensions: 1.45m l.x 0.06m w.x 0.18m th.(max) 

Discussion: This plaster deposit was used to face the eastern edge of the platform. It consisted of a few layers of a white or light grey plaster, with a red plaster layer surviving as traces over the face. This plaster was quite coarse and gritty. It had also been used to patch up a wear hollow or damaged area halfway along the eastern face. It was here that it had been truncated by stakehole [2104].
This plaster was quite different from the plaster along the southern face of the platform which was stratigraphically earlier. This material was greyer in colour, more visibly layered, and greasier in texture.
Extends as far north as the main EW northern wall of the building. 

Execution: trowel, hand shovel 

Condition: coold, damp 

Consistency: weak 

Colour: variable-10 YR 8/1 white to 10 YR 7/ 2 light grey when dry 

Texture: gritty silt 

Bedding: layered-several layers of plaster= treated as one context. These= paralel and= banded vertically. 

Inclusions: small gritty particles (< 1mm <5% ) 

Post-depositional Features: small rootlets had penetrated behind this deposit 

Basal Boundary: reletively clear and distinct interface (0-5mm) with deposits below, especially as in some places rootlets had eased apart [2102] from underlying deposits

Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

X Finds Material: nothing recorded
