Probably a layer of post-abandonment accumulation, which filled the dolium (5424) and the cut (5506), after the dolium had already been partially broken, and maybe after the robbery of the floor and walls of room 6. * This layer was only partially excavated in 2013, and so a full interpretation was postponed.
