Data Category Information: Location: building; Description: general; Material: non-white laid floor; Deposition: composite (floors/bedding/plaster/packing/occupation)

Dimensions: 1.14 N-S x 0.84 E-W 

Discussion: In this unit the floor was very thin towards the N and W and of the walls. At the bottom of this layer I found the same type of soil (like unit (3341)).

The unit end up beyond the cut in unit (3342) the soil was easy to excavate, but beyond the cut to the S the soil (plastered floor) became very hard and compound so I have decided to give a new unit number to the other side of cuts, I call it unit (3376).
