Interpretation
Function:
Surface does not appear impervious enough to have been used for holding water; rather it may have been used for domestic purposes along with Wall 7, or as a paved approach to the well
Stratigraphy remarks:
Mostly ER pottery both on top & underneath the surface; however, a few LR sherds under the surface hint that it was built right at the end of E R/beginning of LR
