Hollow cavity formed from dead tree root, which came from dead tree stump found in last years' excavation on W side of wall 17020. Similar cavity found under daub collapse in 2017 south of this stump. Root cavity is big and extends east in front of end of wall and along threshold (worst place!). It may end at wall 17002=20023, explaining curved cavities found in chocolate layer there in 2017.
