Unit 23777

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: platform makeup 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Material: mortar

Discussion: The unit was a layer of makeup. it was placed just below the layer of plasters 23188. A cut for the burial F.3891 was discerned at the level of this makeup. The layer also continued to the south beneath the platform extension U.23716. In the southern part it was lying on the layer of clay, and in the central and northern on the fill-looking layer. That layer was also used for preparing a threshold in the southern part of the platform defined as an extension.
The layer was also registered in the platform F. 7177, just below the layer of plaster. It was sloping down vertically next to the western edge of platform F. 7173 and sloped on the surface of platform F. 7177, which was placed lower than on the platform F. 7173. The layer was very solid, grey in colour and much more compact than other ones. It created a solid base for further events on both platforms.
