Unit 23962

Category: Layer    dug in 2017

 

Area: TPC 

 

Interpretive Categories: plaster layer 

 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: raised area (platform); Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous

 

Description: constructional, very sharp, distinct contrast 

 

Discussion: This unit is a light gray plaster layer of relatively friable consistency of soil and massive, homogeneous bedding. Is situated on the platfrom f. 8262, Sp. 562, B. 122. Its central part was easy distinguishable by animal burrowing, which occured in the middle of the platform. The plaster was really compact with pebbles temper and hence it was hard to remove. The thickness of this plaster was variable, because it was sloping from N (8 cm. )- S (3 cm) part of the platfrom. This unit belongs to an architectural and constructional event. Beneath this layer one feature was recognized (F. 8666), largely destroyed by later truncations and hence recognized in the form of two separate cuts (U. 23975; U. 23976).
