Discussion: Unit 15374 was opened beneath unit 15366 as another arbitrary layer of room fill in Space 340. Finds were still few, though more frequent in relation to the previous unit. Many large sherds of pottery were found. There ware a few rodent burials in the fill, and - as the previous layer - many inclusions of hard packed plaster littered the fill. Large chunks of plaster with the smoothened surface facing downwards were found. Patches of dark brown-black soil were also found close to the walls.
