Earth Remarks Original L 32 extended S until it was covered by rock debris &L 30; when the debris & 30 was removed, the bricky destruction layer now was evident under all of 30; a probe was dug along the W face of Wall 24 & it showed L 32 sealing against Wall 24 in some places, probably as a result of falling bricks hitting the wall; in other places loose soil was evident which may have been a result of natural fill, not a FT for Wall 24; later extended to cover all of the SW quadrant except for L 39; the material found in 32 is similar in description and content to that of 39
