Discussion: Continued from description - Prominent contrast to underlying deposit fairly smooth surface and flat but with a slight slope to the west. Has a crust of phytoliths, it is unclear as to whether this is associated with lower deposit or part of the brick, that is to say that it is resting on a non-sticky layer.
