P.M.
A similar quantity of the same materials was found this afternoon in Locus 3 . We excavated with mini-picks and trowels. It became apparent that the soil was changing in some areas. In the west some stones are emerging and are beneath the grey-brown soil. But to the north a red-brown soil is present which is spotted with much charcoal.
To the south and east a large concentration of white-yellow soil is present in the centre of Locus 3 with further investigation this extends and continues further south to Locus 2 and appears to terminate at the border of . In the very east of the trench the soil remains grey-brown and a packing of tile is emerging. This is being uncovered and defined.
