Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded
Dimensions: 1.90x1.38 x 0.05-0.10
Discussion: Generalised midden layer in the south part of 106. I stopped when it came down onto a grey lens in the west part of the deposit. Elsewhere no sharp change was evident but n general the deposit is becoming greyer and richer in charcoal. The higher 'lining' in the E corner may have been cut away but there is no clear evidence for a cut in plan or section.
