Use area during the brickfall

The collapse of a mudbrick building bf1 must had happened in two phases, since both in J6 and J2 units there are small installations like pits or small stone walls built on top of a first layer of brickfall. The second part of the building collapsed on top of these installations. A small round pit dug into walls f64 and f74. These walls are poorly preserved. There is a floor f46 that is located at the same elevation.
