Unit 22646

Category: Layer    dug in 2015

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: platform plaster 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: white clay; Deposition: single; Basal Spit: unpainted

Discussion: This is a patchy layer of plaster preserved on the western portion of S platform F. 7951. It was not excavated in 2015, as it was not stratigraphically free (there is an evident later addition to the platform on its eastern side), but it was sampled by phytolith experts Marco Madella and Carla Lancelotti when they laid their .5 m grid for phytolith sampling, once the latest occupation phase of the building was fully exposed. 

Consistency: patchy and crumbly (highly burnt) 

Colour: white, very light yellow/orange 

Texture: plaster 

Bedding: massive 

Inclusions:  

Post-depositional Features: burning, erosion
