Continued cut in trench Ag9BT moving to the east in meters E125-128, S20-21.  In meters E126-127, S20-21 a stone concentration of large, flat stones was uncovered.  The depth of these stones was recorded as 65-70 cm.b.d.  The stone formation was defined and cleaned for photography.  The soil above the stone formation was yellowish-brown with flecks of carbon, small stones, plaster, and ceramic.  It maintained the designation locus 1.  The stone formation was designated locus 2.

Continued cut westward into meters E125, S20-21 in order to obtain sectional information about the stone formation in trench Ag9BT.  The soil was yellowish-brown with a medium concentration of carbon and small to medium size stones.  The area was leveled to an approximate depth of 80-85 cm.b.d.  Within these meters several more stones were uncovered and appeared to be a portion of a bedrock layer.  These stones were designated locus 2, with the stones of the formation in meters E126-127, S20-21.  From this locus 10 worn fragments of terracotta, 1 bone fragment, and 5 pieces of ceramic were recovered.
