Baulk walls were trimmed in preparation for the closing of the trench and stratigraphic drawings.  Work focused on the southern and western walls, as these two walls will be drawn for stratigraphic sections.  While trimming baulk walls, a bronze ingot fragment (Find #1), a piece of odd terracotta (Find #2), a sherd of incised bucchero (Find #3), a sherd of striped, painted pottery (Find #4), and a sherd of incised, Italo Corinthian pottery (Find #5) were found.
