Unit 32701
Category: Layer dug in 2016
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: floor
Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: raised area (platform); Material: mix (dark grey&white); Deposition: multiple; Basal Spit: unpainted
Discussion: Unit 32701 refers to the 3cm thick layer of the grouped floor-plasters and make-ups coating the West central platform F.8321. Some patches of the white plaster had been also recorded in the NW-part of the Sp.531, which may imply clearly that the sequence of plasters covered the wider area not only the raised area (F.8321). The mentioned patches had been truncated by the two burials F.8319 and F.8320 giving sequential order of the proceedings that took place within the main room of the B.132. As such the evoked inhumations occurred a period of time after the plaster had been laid down all over the space. Furthermore, from stratigraphical point of view the plasters U.32701 enveloped the thick make-up U.32726 which formed the shape of the platform F.8321. In the Southern part of the mentioned feature, however, the plaster U.32701 covered uncertain patch of the dirty floors sediment U.32727. Within the grouped layer there were at least 3 plaster horizons recognized. They were divided by the same number of make-ups underlying the white coating.
