Discussion: 4970 was a small strip of red, silty material that appears to have formed a divide between dirty and clean areas to the east and west of it in the southern part of space 178/ building 23. Interestingly, it lay almost exactly beneath the remnant 'arm' of oven superstructure 4787 (F529), that seems to have served a similar purpose in the later phases of use of the building.
