Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infilling 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 180x12x125 

Discussion: Seventh arbitrary spit of infilling. As the removal of 3234 started where in N side of the area the feature might be described as bench of kind of wall extended in to this area. This feature entirely plastered smooth surface and nicely curving edges apparent. However, the bench has slightly risen against of feature which is pointed out. as ( A in he sketch plan which might be a kind of high column feature ( buttress?) The fill underlies also the collapsed plaster material which is situated on the doorway area. However, by judging the wall which seem extension or contemporary with the bench in space 155 and if we compare this features to the west end of the house it seems like we are already dealing with two phases within the building.
