Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: wall/blocking; Material: mortar; Deposition: heterogeneous

Discussion: This unit was recognized as a mortar layer of Neolithic wall (F.7485) located in NW corner of Space 575. Unit 30895 was sitting underneath the layer of bricks U.30894. Similarly to the last unit 30895 was highly truncated by late activities recognized as a pit F.3877 (for further information see discuss. in feature sheet 7485).
