Stratigraphy remarks May be a continuation of 12; 12 was an ash layer & 13 a dark laye; 12 & 13 could be a destruction level; or 13 could be a surface used for the store room & 12 the destruction level ash has leached down into 13; the many slingstones found at this level ties 12 & 13 together as one destruction level
Reason Flat lying stones; harder
