Discussion: Cluster of large pot sherds, animal bones and artefacts in SW of Space 310. Cluster was visible after removing spit of room fill 18303. While removing this spit, sherds already clustered in the W area of the room. This was recorded as cluster 18316. 18321 might be a continuation of 18316 or otherwise related to it.

Soil around the artefacts of the cluster was treated as room fill 18318 but finds from the sieve collected as 18321. Soil was not different from the rest of the room fill 18318.

Some of the sherds were sticking in an 45 degree angle or vertically in the fill. Unde the large sherds in the middle of the cluster a piece of red painted plaster became visible (S1). The sherds next to the butress in the south were blackened on their downside. Some phytoliths were also sticking under these sherds, but no pattern visible. Some of the sherds are sitting right next to the butress which is almost completely hidden in the south section.
