Discussion: Unit is an extremely sandy construction packing later located in a large area of the dirty space of the buildng, including the platform F. 7401, the sunken floor area, and the area underneath the ladder platform. It is massive and due to the presence of small rubble material this suggests it was intended as a major preparation layer for the later floor sequences of the sunken floor and platform. It consists of a large part of the building up of platform F. 7401. This represents a siginifcant construtction alteration activity in the dirty area, suggesting that like the "clean" platform spaces, the dirty area was also intentionally rennovated and architecturally altered and controlled to a intense level.
