| Discussion: (4506) was an irregular, E-W remnant, of a substantial ( up to 25mm thick ), plaster floor surface. Also recorded as part of this unit, was an underlying 'make-up'/levelling deposit: grayish - light to mid brown clayey silt, varying in thickness from 2-25mm approx. I noticed, what appeared to be, v. fine layering within the plaster. It could be, that this deposit was wall collapse, rather than floor (i.e. wall plaster) , although the thickness throughout the deposit, seemed too uniform for a collapsed, or dumped deposit ?? |
