| Notes: | EXCAVATION NOTES: B77 is a stony layer cutting the northern half of the clay floor. The boundaries of B77 were uncertain at first; they were defined during excavation of the basket. B77 overlies the stone projecting into the side of pit cut =B71. The deposit is softer to dig than what is around it, except for what is directly below in the northern half of the basket--this is much softer and has tiles in it, and is more orangey in color, like can be seen in the cut of pit (cut = B76). Below the southern half of the basket is a harder ridge that slopes more gradually away from the clay surface (B102 et al.). | |
