Discussion: This unit is thought to have been room fill from Space 454 left relatively undisturbed by the cutting of pit F. 3331. No late sherds were found but there was a large amount of pottery for such a small area of soil. The unit was lined by the wall plaster to the west and plaster sloping down to the floor and the east. This plaster has frequent pinkish stains and one chunk of red faced plaster, which may indicate a general painting of plaster in the room.
Same as Unit 15176, which was attributed to the unexcavated fill in 2010.
