Notes:   This is a very small basket of very soft and very dark brownish black soil similar to that of B171 and maybe equal to it. It is also possible that it relates to the NS wall at 266.44 E, which stands immediately to its West. B177 lies on top and to the west of B174.
The soil of this basket included stones (boulders, cobbles, pebbles), pottery sherds, bones and tile fragments, some of which were very large.
We will continue with the examination of the hard dark brownish white soil that lies to the west of B177.
