Interpretive Categories: Burnt Infill,Mellart Backfill
Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous
Dimensions: 420cm E-W by 360cm N-S
Discussion: More burned material in the north.
In the North frequent plaster collapse.
Very soft in the middle, with some stones.
Likely to represent backfill / spoil left during the Mellaart excavation, perhaps relating to the movement of soil from building 76.
The south east corner appears not to have been fully excavated as compact horizons are butted by the Mellaart friable deposit. The southern wall also makes a dog-leg south before forming the eastern wall F:40088.
