Rationale
Reason: Not as compacted & also had gone down 20 to 30 cm
Top separation: Very Unclear / Bottom separation: Very Clear
Interpretation:
Function: Beaten-earth exposure surface
Stratigraphy remarks: May be a place where trash was dumped; seals against Pit 25; Wall 19 is sealed against by it; contamination from bioturbation
