Category: layer    dug in 1998

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: make up 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: building; Material: pise-like; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 0.67 m E-W; 0.54 m N-S; 0.08 m thick 

Discussion: Mainly consisting of yellowish brown silty clay, but a thin band of plaster at the top of the unit (see sketch) and a thicker band of plaster towards the base (up to 0.04 m thick). Also, small to large fragments of plaster through unit; also some darker patches of material (10 YR 5/3), appears similar to make up deposits I've excavated elsewhere. 

Recognition: Recognised during cleaning after excavation of overlying layers, contrasts with dark grey material below.
