Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: platform make ups 

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

Discussion: This was E part of western platform of Building 150 (F.8677). Its upper western part was removed under a separate unit number: 23789. The limit between two units was arbitrary in order to understand relationships with the partition wall F. 8652.

Firstly, a white plastered layer on the top was removed. Underneath was a light brown layer followed by very thin dark grey layer. Next, the following layers were recorded: an orange layer, grey, orange, grey. At the bottom, an orange infill was recorded.
