Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit

Discussion: Ashy dump sloping steeply down to the S over other mixed deposits- similar to 2561 but more compact. Clearly, as with 2561, this layer represents a rapid infill of a deliberately mixed material specifically for infilling a 'dead' house. The layer was stopped when a very coherent floor was reached associated with the W face plaster of a new partition wall on the same alignment as F.3.
