Discussion: It is a trampled layer of a floor in S paart of an extension. It was first visible on plan 04/839 and then it became clear that it iis bigger which is visible on plan 05/201. It is also possible that floor 10977 is same as a floor 10971, which is situated to the north from 10977 and on a different level, however they seem to be joined.

The floor 10977 consisted of three layers which however were not distinguishable as the whole surface of the floor. The first layer composed of clay was much trumpled, nether smooth and compact. Underneath there was more sandy clay deposit which was rather firm than compact and brownish. The last layer within the floor was more greyish and compact.
