Description |
Locus 27 is a section of the workshop’s plaster floor surface measuring 1 meter wide and 2 meters long. The surface of the locus is highly compacted pinkish-brown plaster. Locus 27 lies between a northern and middle column base and directly abuts the middle column base. It is 0.08 meters west of the 179 E line and roughly 0.5 meters north of the 71 S line. The locus’ depth is roughly 0.10 meters. The locus is surrounded by Locus 4, which is the southern part of the OC2/Workshop floor, and was sectioned through in order to better understand the stratigraphy and the previous phases of occupation in the workshop space before the Orientalizing period. A banded agate stone (PC20230006) was recovered with the plaster of the floor surface and may be a raw material used in the production of carved gems or stones. Three large sections of the plaster floor were also saved as Sample #4. A layer of dark brown clay was found below the plaster floor and was declared Locus 28, which was excavated to reveal more of the stratigraphy beneath the OC2/Workshop floor. |
