Interpretation

Function Prob for storage or to feed animals, though neither suggestion is satisfactory since it was only a part of a circle
Stratigraphy remarks Seems to have been in use while Surfs 6 & 14 were in use, since both seal against it; may have been in use with Tabun 25; levels would be OK for this
