Discussion: This dark grey coloured layer, compacted by pedological activities, suggested another layering for floors that took place in the NE corner of the house, cut by a pit towards the west of it. However, it has a cut on the south of it which suggested that it might be a platform, although revealing the plaster surface suggest the impossibility of the idea because the plaster floor is rising up against to something in the south and possibly continuing into the area where the crawl hole was situated. However this deposit, within 7 visible 3-4 different layers, contains, a type of ashy deposits mixed with possible plaster or mudbrick aggregates (< 0.5 - 1 cm, 10 %).
