Unit 2127
Category: layer dug in 1997
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: wall plaster
Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: plaster; Deposition: layered (wall plaster); Basal Spit: painted
Dimensions: 5 m x 0.15 m, 15-35mm thick
Discussion: Wall plaster from N wall of space 71. Traces of red paint exist to the West of F26 only.
Approximately 2-3 layers of painting.
One darker red to east side there were 3 triangular shapes - fairly consistent/bright spread of paint, on a lower (?) layer a more orange layer with some dense shapes.
Possibly below this a faded darker red - large expanses - very badly preserved and faded with some small patches of black and some large expanses of plain unpainted plaster
Very poor preservation of wall plaster in general, flaky and uneven layering - more decayed/thinner in some areas and dark ????

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.

Unit description: This unit comes entirely from flotation: Sample 2 >4mm flotation, 100% sorted, recorded completely. This is a small unit with small pieces of mostly sheep-size scrap. Nothing is over 3 cm, and most is less than 1 cm. The few diagnostics are pretty ratty. There is some burning and quite a bit of digestion. Surface condition is variable. There is a little bit of fish and amphibian, pulled for later study. There is little coherence, and it calls to mind brick assemblages. 2003: Found a couple of pieces from the dry sieve, variably in surface condition between the two of them and further supporting multiple origins for the assemblage. Last number = 32Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
