- The context is a fill of burnt material housed in cut 3135, covering 3133 and abutting SSU 3106. The upper layer of the context is mostly yellow clay covered in a thick layer of ash puntuated by fragments and balls of broze. On its eastern side, 3122 has a more various composition. Most of the largest inclusions were found in this area. The western half has a more regular content and is made up of a sandy burnt earth. Some of it red and some of it black. The blackest earth is concentrated near 3106 and the red in the center of the context.
