Notes:		photo 594 coin 98 (sieve) - Byzantine, Manuel I Cut #695 This depost lies in a somewhat large (see dimensions of cut # 695) rectangular cut. Inclusions were somewhat frequent (40%) and the cut may have served as a foundation trench for a partition wall that would have ran across the western side of the room. The trench is interupted by a large robbing pit, so we cannot determine whether the trench would have gone any further. However, on the E. side no such trench/cut is visible. 01/06/2015 (Larkin Kennedy, Rossana Valente) Animal bones: bovid, lird, limpet, 0.57 kg, all thrown.
