Discussion: It is a lower part of the make up of the floor recorded as unit 15807 in B 74, space 326. It is placed underneath the upper make up layers (15879). The make up is placed above older floor recorded as u. 15881, which marks earlier occupational sequence of this space. It is consisted of non homogeneous sandy silt. In eastern part of the space it is none more sandy than in its western one. It contains a lot of inclusions such as charcoal, bones, obsidian, pottery. It was clearly distinguished from the middle make up layer recorded as u 15879 and from the layer recorded as u. 15879 which is placed beneath. It shares some characteristic with the underlying unit. There are differences between measurements of the height of x-fins, the flotation sample and the lowest, because they were taken from different points of the layer, which is slightly sloping towards east.
