Notes:		This wall defines the western limit of Room 6 of Unit II. It runs NW-SE and is paralleled by the wall represented by Context 59 (NB 864 Wall 11) to the E. Context 58 is preserved for the majority of its length, though it has been robbed out at the S (NB 854, B X). The N limit of the wall remains unknown, as it enters the N scarp around E 117.20, N 1083.30. This wall was initially discovered in 1992 as a roughly N-S robbing trench N of the narthex, recorded in NB 850 B32 (p. 47). The wall itself seems to have been excavated first in 1995, uncovered in NB 873 B64 (p. 77), and later B66 (p. 81) for a S extension (here this wall is referred to as Wall 5 and given a use date in the Early Frankish Period). Several graves (Graves 2014-01, 2014-05, 1996-6, 1996-4) were cut immediately along the E face of this wall within Room 6. The wall must therefore predate these burials. The earliest context that we excavated was a probable portion of Floor 6 of the previous excavations (NB 864 B62) in Context 90, dated by pottery to the late 13th-early 14th c. by us, and by the previous excavators to the mid-13th c. This floor is abuts Wall Context 58, which must therefore predate the floor.
