| Stratum: | 30%. Tiles, ceramics, coarse pebbles, some rounded, some angular. Bone. | |
| Description: | The soil color is light reddish white. The soil compaction is weakly cemented. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silt. | |
| Notes: | Soil is very dry. Next layer down, where soil is redder, may be a continuation of the same layer, juts less dry; however, it does look different in the scarp. Soil comes out in clumps, must be broken with pick; but beneath the hard, dry surface, soil is softer and can be removed with a trowel. At north side, we come down on cuttings for several possible pits, or new layers. At west, just south of pit 8, a possible grave or foundation trench for wall 8. Excavation began the morning of 12/6, before AMS and PJK arrived to the site. Thanassis also did some scraping inside pit 8 and grave 2015-08 in order to clarify stratigraphy of the above levels; this was removed as cleaning dirt and not sieved.
