Interpretive Categories: floor 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation); Basal Spit: painted

Description: Plaster and make up floors stretching from the bench (F3477) and the NE platform (F3473) of B.89. 

Discussion: This unit is one of several floors on the eastern part of the building located on the east-southern bench (F 3476), on the eastern platform (F3477) and on the north-eastern platform (F3473). It is made by white plaster on the bench and by a grey and white make up on the central platform. The unit is layered compound because it is possible to recognize plaster and make up, probably interpreted as patches on the floor.
On the south eastern area, where the platform is higher, we can see a painted red stripes on the plaster. We asked to a specialist of the conservation team and he said that it is just a red stripes, so we take a picture and removed that.
It was excavated by trowel and leaf trowel.
