Discussion: U. 30830 represents the floor of space 517. It is mainly mud-brick, with patches of extremely poorly preserved and damaged plaster contained within it. Although it meets with wall f.7183, it clearly postdates this wall as the wall plaster continues below the level of this floor. It was quite a thick layer of makeup, characterized by orange Neolithic construction material, but contained few finds. It overlaid an earlier floor with nearly the same extent, also plastered originally but similarly patchy (u. 30819). Samples may be taken for this unit for dating.
Remains of the unit 30830 laying on top of 30819 was excavated during 2015 year season, resulting in an additional 75 liters of sieved soil as well as the finding of an obsidian point (X-find1)
