Meter N12 W10 was excavated further, continuingthe cut that was initiated through meters N15-13 W10, in order to see the extent of locus 5, olive brown soil with carbon inclusinos, located mostly int he eastern portion of the above-mentioned meters and containing archeological material.  The possibility of locus 5 being a midden was further explored.

Locus 5 in N13 W10 was further excavated.  Pale yellow- pale olive (5Y 7/3-6/3) soil, containing no archeological material was reached at approximately 105 cm b.d. in most of N12 W10, while the soil in a narrow area east of bedrock in N13 W10 was still olive brown (2.5Y 4/3).
