Dump

In the southern portion of J6 we documented a deposit dump1 of loose soil mixed with mudbricks, pebbles, large stones, bones and pottery sherds, just above the brickfall of Phase 7j. The massive presence of pottery led us to interpret it as a dump. Related to the dump are some stones which could have formed an installation f21.
