Interpretation

Function:

Partial floor of a room which had Wall 25 as its S wall

Stratigraphy remarks:

48 is the earliest surface in use with Wall 25; contemporary with L 36, the surface used outside the room; since Wall 25 is LIR1 & 48 is the earliest floor, it must at least be later than Wall 25
