1.   Removed second level of tile in the tile line.  A 3rd layer of tile is revealed in N-O/67, but to a depth of 93 cm in M/67-66 no further tile is revealed.  Soil from this mesti work is our typical mixed medium-dark brown w/ lots of plaster chunks and some charcoal.  Last of tiles in O-N/67 bottomed out at c. 95 cm in typical mixed soil.  *WRONG

2.   Continuing to excavate O/67 down to c. 105 cm no that tile is removed.  Soil throughout is mixed soil but with varying background colors as noted on NM II, p. 187 .  Although we thought tile line in O/67 terminated, this was not the case.  A further layer of pan tile fragments was revealed.  These sat atop a group of small rocks which appear as

3.   Cut in N-O/64-65 90-95 cm.  Soil in western 3/4 of O/64 is light brown with only minimal inclusions of charcoal - no plaster.  In remainder of O/64 and all of O/65-N/64-65 soil is typical jumbled mixture with main matrix being red-brown.  In N/64-65 picking was impossible due to concentration of tile frags - much like those in M/64-65.  Also discovered in N/65 is large pithos frag on eastern edge - possibly associated with rim frag in M/65 N baulk.  Also of note is that some pithos and tile frags were burnt but not in burnt soil.
