Interpretation
Function:
Ashy occupational debris layer
Stratigraphy remarks:
Seals against Walls 20 & 21 & actually below Wall 21 in places; it dates to Ir1 but the second & lower peel, pail 49, has an IR1/LB reading; L 18 may include the transition from LB to Ir1; based on 18 & the MB & EB reading from 27, Walls 20 & 21 certainly could be pre-Ir1
