Discussion: This is a make-up layer placed below anotyher one - bigger (unit 12234). These levelling layers were situated below walls 11578 (in S part) and wall in N part (excavated in season 2004 in order to put up a tent), which was at least partly same as 11578 (and possibly partly same as 10953).

The lowest in the centre of the unit was 1017.15, while in S and N parts 1017.20 - therefore the heights ranged from 0.12 m (centre) to 0.07 (N and S parts).
