Discussion: This an infiil layer located directly underneath the floor (u. 17808) of F6000. Its S and E limits were defined by two walls (17810 and 17811) and its N and W limits were defined arbitrarly. Basal boundary in the E part was very sharp and flat, and in the W part was defined arbitrarly at level of greyish infill layer. Within this unit a cluster of animal bones and human bones was found and recorded as unit 17832 . This may have been a foundation deposits of Space 327 and hence this layer possibly belongs to the Space 327. Additionaly many fragments of anmal and human bones were found. Furthemore , a large number of very well preserved human teeth were found, through they were not discovered in one place,but were scattered in different part of an infill.
