This is a layer placed against the double wall located parallel to S edge of the trench. The unit is composed of mixture of clay and broken brown mudbricks. The proportions of these elements vary considerably across the unit and its bedding is unoriented. This unit is to be interpreted as a layer of destroyed bricks that was created as a result of wall collapse (see unit 7453). Some fragments of broken bricks were covered by plaster that is indicative of the way of wall decoration in Neolithic buildings from this level. Initial size and shape of the unit discovered in 2002 has been modified in the season 2003.
