Dimensions: N-S 1.9m, E-W 1.8m, thickness 10-15cm
Discussion: A spit of 10-15cm was excavated in space 310. Beforehand all animal disturbances were removed (18304).
The soil is very heterogeneous, greyish brown with a lot of yellowish chunks of burnt clay (up tp 10cm long), which are harder. The chunks are of different sizes up to 10cm long. Lime spots and black spot (charcoal) and one lump of mudbrick = clay with straw.
