Silty layer deposited atop a clear compact surface of light brown soil and mortar and delimited by linear wall features. A threshold is visible at the N. of the SU by wall 6004, lines up with curbs found in SUs further west. This deposit is associated with the small linear features found throughout Areas G and H, which we are currently considering small plots for agriculture or viticulture. The deposit clearly laid on top of a light brown compact surface found throughout the area on which the walls also seem to be built.
