Start date:

End date: 07 Jul, 1987
Rationale
Reason: More consolidated than Surf 5 which is above it
Top separation: Unclear / Bottom separation: Unclear
Interpretation:
Function: Irregular exposure surface N of Wall 4; prob garden soil for farming in the farmstead we are postulating in use with Walls 4 & 6
Stratigraphy remarks: Fill between Walls 4 & 6, later than the walls since it seals against both
