Discussion: This unit is the layer of black mudbricks constituting F.3329, to the N of F.3326 and S of F.3321 (buttresses in Space 452). The mudbrick was given a feature number and exvcavated, assuming it was some kind of installation between the two buttresses. The unit, however, was quite disturbed and it is difficult to talk about the purpose of this feature. It respects the plaster lines of F.3326 and 3321 so it must be later than them. In section, the mudbricks of F.3329 seem to be contemporaneous on the same level as the mudbrick of F.3328, to the W of buttress F.3326
