Discussion: After removal of floors, 1358, we expose series of packing deposits. These are removed from N part of 1 x 1 square. They abut the burnt surface. No, as we dig now clear that these deposits are lying in a cut though the floor-series of burnt brown floors, very nice, visible in section of cut. Can this be a burial?
