Discussion: This unit is a floor located on the central and northern area of the building. Part of the unit was already excavated during the sondage around the bucranium and so the unit 21986 is same as u21965. It could be interpreted as one of the first floors on the building, extended on the central and northern area of the building, without any separation between the two areas, except for the unit above U 21979, a long and thin layer that separate the central and northern areas of the B89.
It was excavated by trowel and leaf trowel.
