Stratum:   Mixed fill west of pit 2006-4. Light yellowish-brown, poorly-cemented, 5% inclusions, moderately sorted, pebbles.
Notes:   Continued pass to the west of pit 2006-4 as well as to the west of the well-head/manhole. The baskete contained very little bone and no shells; however, it contained a very high quantity of painted wall plaster fragments. There was also relatively little pottery. In addition to the other finds, we uncovered a single bronze pin. We also noticed the occasional remnant of mud brick. We stopped the basket due to the amount of soil removed, despite the continuation of the soil type in the northern half of the basket. This continuation will be basket 57.
