Description | This locus consists of fragments of plaster that may have originally been on the East Wall and anta pier. In situ areas of the foundation plaster over Wall Locus 3 were revealed. Some poorly preserved plaster with a blue and black floral motif was found between the anta pier Locus 2 and Wall Locus 3. The designs were recorded but not saved. There were also many molded pieces of corners, cornices, and egg and dart motifs. The plain flat pieces were colored, red, yellow, white, and blue. There is evidence of a plain white tessellation being used with the plastering which was common in the Nabataean as well as the late Roman and Byzantine periods. |
