| Earth Remarks | Ash-pocket situated at Loca 20 of (see levels); the earth inclusions have not been established as indeed bricks (see also L 13 remarks); contains a lot of stones and some hard clay lumps; a sub balk was left between the N balk and Wall 17; after removing the sub balk a poss N-S wall-line was found; excavation ceased before the wall could be examined; clay material seems concentrated against N face of Wall 17; some big flat lying sherds were found placed on a stone covered by clay; top of sherds were covered by a stone |
| Stratigraphic Remarks | The division-line between Locus 10&12 resembles the line of a pit. Locus 12 seems to be deposited against locus 10 rather than cut by Locus 10 however. |
