Interpretation
Function:
Poss destruction layer from LIR1; interpretation difficult because so little is contained in square; contingent on interpretation of 27
Stratigraphy remarks:
Seems to be limited between Walls 26 & 38 which suggests reuse into EIR2; appears to be disturbance of contiguous layers to W
