Unit 4729

Category: layer    dug in 1999

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: plaster 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: bin; Material: plaster; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 30cm by 10cm 1-5cm-0.5cm- 10cm 

Discussion: This appears to be the initial plastering of the western end of the north edge of F 518. The plaster merges with the wall plaster of wall 483. This plaster then overlaps 4728 as its northern end. 4728 must be earlier.

Could be same as 4727. 

Recognition: Yellowish waxy plaster over 4728-see plan. North-west edge of bin and extends over base, overlips 4728 clearly on base and in north-west corner. 4729 interdigitates with the wall plaster of f 483 which lies over the grey plastered western edge of F 518. 

Definition: See plan 

Execution: Trowel
