Layer 5846 seems to have resulted from a combination of natural colluvial accumulation and very sporadic dumping activity, similar to the several other recent layers throughout area F. The fragmentary ashlars, for instance, must represent a small dump of unneeded or spoliated building material, as there are no ashlar walls from which they could have collapsed. These activities are surrounded, however, by silty colluvial material.
