Interpretation

Function:

Occupational debris layer

Stratigraphy remarks:

MB reading dates not only itself but underlying cobble Surf 29 as well as Wall 25; so there is as yet still no architecture that can be said to have originated during LB; it is unclear just how this locus & Wall 5 & the foundation of Wall 5 which may be Wall 21 continuing from the other side, relate
