Continued to excavate Locus 3.  North side and east side continue to be sterile.  Near bottom of 5cm cut soil became more compact.  Terracotta tiles. pottery fragments and stones continue to appear in SW corner.  Locus 3 was closed in the relatively sterile region and above the majority of the trench in SW corner.

The pottery, stones and terracotta were left in situ in Locus 4 for photographs tomorrow.
