Description Locus 67 is the soil within the basin (Locus 34) below the blockage (Locus 35) in the bathroom. The soil is a fine loose silt/sand (Munsell 7.5 YR 4/4 brown), with inclusions of plaster, pottery, ash, small stones and bone. This is a very small soil locus, really only consisting of the soil surrounding the blockage in the basin, and so not amounting to more than a few centimeters in thickness. The soil was probably put in with the blockage itself, filling the gaps of the ashlar filling the niche of the basin. Locus 67 is therefore phased to Stage 5 with the blockage of the basin.
