Discussion: This unit consisted of patchy and very compact layer of sunken floor from Space 589. Unit 31820 recognized as some flooring event base on its soil consistency and clear relationship to wall F.8269. This unit was distinctly lapping onto the wall edge remaining therefore a kind of sunken floor. This layer was sealing darker and much more compound material which may be another highly heterogeneous and full of inclusions room fill or a midden deposit.

Bedding: Compound
