Excavation continued in Locus 6. The southern section of the locus was lowered approximately 5-7 cm. Yellowish flaky soil, considered sterile, is appearing throughout most of the area of the locus, excepting the northeastern sector where excavation had been discontinued earlier because of a soil change. Three stones located in the middle of the southern sector were left in place although they appear to rest on the mottled soil. One bowl of terracotta fragments was recovered. One and a third latte boxes of pottery sherds were found along with one latte box of bone pieces. Eight special finds were made. Some pieces of plaster were mixed in with the terracotta. Also, there was a fragment of a brick included with the terracotta count.
