- This layer is found throughout the chapel-extending from the east wall westward through the center of the chapel. It is deep in areas where the pavement 3127, 3128 was cut. It is also found in smaller amount over this pavement under the layers of yellow clay.
- Since it appears in so many areas throughout the chapel, this layer was not initially excavated as a single context. In the NE area of the chapel where it lay on top of 3128, it was not defined as its own context, but as part of the clay pack above and was partially removed before it could be recorded.
- none
- mediocre (see observations)
