Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: occupation; Deposition: multiple

 

Dimensions: 0.25 m E/W x 0.65 m N/S x 60 mm deep 

 

Discussion: Dump deposit initially thought to be levelling for a platform extension in S/E corner of room, however no clear edge of a platform could be seen, as it runs over demolished oven deposit 2795. It probably is part of same levelling process only using different materials to level the ground in this area. No obvious surfaces above this deposit also tends to suggest some form of truncation in this building.
