Interpretation
Function:
Occupation surface; so little of it remains, it is imposs to tell what other occupation material it may have been associated with; it may have served to level the area to the same level as the bedrock shelf in 8L62 to S
Stratigraphy remarks:
Above Fill 13 which is interpreted as a LIR2/P or later disturbance; as it is cut on 3 sides, it is difficult to make connections, but it may have been contemporary with Wall 3 (which is itself only a remnant);there is a poss that it was part of Surf 16 & Installation 15, thus, contemporary with Walls 7 & 8
