The layer appears to be the remains of a collapsed ceiling, which fell from somewhere directly above Room I-13. This interpretation is supported by the large sections of linked ceiling plaster preserved throughout the layer, particularly along the walls of the room. Most of the plaster was found with the smooth side down and the grooved side facing up. Some wall plaster was found throughout this layer as well, suggesting that sections of the wall plaster had collapsed.
