Discussion: The unit was discovered in 2013 as U.30878. It was recognized as a rubble and very heterogeneous layer of fill sitting in between two wall constructions in Sp.521. This infill seemed to be deliberately placed between S wall (F. 3891) of the ‘bin room ’ (Space 493) and the wall F.8253. Unit 20791 was revealed in 2013 after removing a flooring event F.7199 consisted of two separate layers: plaster U.30838 and make-up U.30839 right beneath. This unit was sitting directly on the platform surface.
