Interpretation

Function Tumble prob from Walls 4 & 5, and poss, at the lower level, from Walls 11 & 15
Stratigraphy remarks Wall 5 may have continued W from the present last sector and divided L 7 from 8; this would explain the difference in pottery between the two loci; L 21 may be the bottom of 7 in Loca 26; inclusions seem to have formed themselves to the topography sitting on the surface of stones and extending into the cracks between stones; May be result of mud brick melting in fire; may indicate destruction level
