Category: layer    dug in 1999

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: Packing under floor layer on N-est most ledge of platform 154/162.
Under a thin white plaster (6136) was this unit. V. solid, rather hard and mixed packing mat. About a cm above the floor, however, a good layer of organicaly rich, burnt mat. was found (oocup,=. debris). It was this mat. that was sampled for ICP etc..
I espected to find a smallerr ledge for the earlier platform. However the only evidence for such an earlier ledge was a roughly rounded chunk of plaster on the S most 5 cm of the unit. This piece was removed (looked like fill) before the possibility of it being a ledge was talked over.
