Discussion: Unit 6129 is the 2cm layer right about the floor level. I collected a sample of small spheroid pieces - possibly salt - just in front of the niche (F.607). The floor is sloping from the S end towards the middle of the room, a differentiation of about 30cm. The unit contained bits and pieces of charcoal and had some striations of phytolith spread randomly in the area.
