Interpretation

Function:

Arbitrary locus, to remove the material between the N balk & where the bedrock begins to dip downward; prob a late fill, at least in its upper levels where it may contain some of tumble L 4

Stratigraphy remarks:

The top of L 28 is at approx the same level as Surf 6, but that surface did not extend to this W part of the square; ashy material (25) may be below the upper levels of 28; Surf 6 may have been destroyed or cut through in this area
