Interpretation

Function Occupational debris layer; equals L 19
Stratigraphy remarks Dates to MB; no LB architecture; indeed, L 26, which seems to be on the other side of Wall 21, has the same MB reading; so that would mean an IR1 Wall 5 on top of an MB Wall 21; what is strange is that even the LB loci found W of Wall 5 seem to be absent E of it
