| Discussion: Plaster face overlying the S. facing wall in space 164, Building 7. Partly surviving, but with substancial remnants in the central area, and smaller deposits towards W & E. limits. Generally dry, and easy to peel off the brick and mortar, though some of the larger frags. ( around 50mm thick ), were slightly moist against the wall surface. Average thickness of the plaster varied between 5-10mm though 10-15mm was common throughout. The largest frags. were approx. 1.0m E of the W. nail - one of which was kept as a plaster sample. Approx. 38 litres excavated overall. |
