Discussion: This unit comprises an archictuarl featur (F. 167) in the SE corner of bldg 3 sp. 186. This unit consists of a series of floor plaserings and packings. These plasterings and packings were built on top of a older feature and filled in in a basin and along the eastern wall therewas a dark burnt layer of packing material. This extended towards the middle of the basin. The basin measured 55cm X 54 cm. Further excavation showed that the lower floor plasterings and packings extended beyond this basin and into the east wall. These floors extended into a niche (unit 8144; F. 762) in the east wall of the SE corner of sp.86. The packing varied from light orange and soft (upper layers) to a more coarse, thicker, hard orange brown packing (lower level). All of the upper floor layers wer removed and the last floor plastering was left intact. This early floor extended into the niche and to the north of the earlier floor plasterings and packings.
