Discussion: This is a midden located underneath E part of unit 15217 between the walls; u. 13088, 13089, 13093. It was a part of a lerge midden layer recorded as unit 13570, 15217, 15220 and 15222. The unit was relatively homogeneous. The fact that two worked stones were found within it, is quite significant as they were present also in upper layers: 15216 and 15217.
