Unit 21: Finish clearing the 11.07 = 11.15 floor. This is the same as the 11.07 = 11.15 11.10 floor in unit 22, and is continuous with it, separated only by the low rounded ridge south of the stone basin, as on the level above. It is tempting to think of this as a thoroughfare just inside the circuit wall. The very hard surface and its rather rough texture agree with this. The ridge between the two units maybe

Unit 12: clear below the 10.50(10.32) = 10.64 floor, finding the original floor, of bed rock (sandstone) at 10.32 = 10.72. The (10.32) 10.50 = 10.64 level was only accumulation over the 10.32 = 10.72 floor, as is shown by the fact that the sherds of the bucchero jug, p. #, were found in both levels. The fireplace in the west was built over an ashy pit (#1) which in turn cuts another pit. Five 4 pits are visible in unit 12 at this level.
