Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0.25m x 0.5 m 

Description: Layer description copied from unit sheet 2286, clean roof. Note: colors are more vivid and stripes can be thicker, but the texture, consistency etc. are v. similar. 

Discussion: Unit started see drawing for unit 3549 for a picture before excavating as it was seen in unit 3549. This drawing was done after roof stripes were removed from my side of section wall as you see them continue in the section face. We can now see a brownish line in the section face in what appears to be same context as roof stripes and also in plan in unit 3549 - is this a line of burning?
