Unit 30912

Category: Layer    dug in 2013

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: plaster of lowest platform 

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

Discussion: This unit is made of plaster. The layer follows the whole shape of the lowest platform in building 89. Probably this unit is formed by an activity of replastering on the central platform. Important to note is that on the western boundary of the platform, the unit is characterized by a very strong consistency, maybe done to re-enforce the external edge of the platform. We have brought a sample of this part of the layer (S3).
The unit was removed by trowel.
