Original Recipe Text

A white plaster coating was applied to a mudbrick wall (p. 274). This feature was found within Level 2 of Trench B, a 3x5 m2 square on the second terrace of the Sabuniye mound (p. 274).

Evidence

"Level 2 consists of the remains of a mudbrick wall plastered in white. The wall was located in the southern part of the trench. Finds related to this phase have been dated to the Iron Age I–II transition."

Remarks

This architectural finding represents the second building phase in Trench B. The use of white plaster on mudbrick structures indicates specific interior or exterior finishings during the Iron Age I–II transition (p. 274).
