- Provenance
- Pit G 2134 X, roof (reused)
- Remarks
- Based on distribution of pits associated with G 2134 visible in photograph A7393, attribution of false door 36-1-7 to G 2134 X (reused as roofing) appears to be contradicted by false door (probably 36-1-7) clearly visible (middle ground center, to SW of broken false door of G 2134) in situ over G 2134 B (NB: no mention made in excavation diaries of a reused false door associated with G 2134 B).
