Notes:   After excavating the wall's stones and underbedding of tiles and clay Thanasis and Cleomenes are excavating the wall's clay foundation. B124 was a very small area, so they completed it in a short period of time.
At this point we need to compare B124 to other baskets from the clay floor to see if any are comparable (ie.the same).
The one wheelbarrow of B124 will be sieved. B122 the dark clay context to the N and E of the orange and clay stone feature has been sieved and it yielded many pieces of glass. B124 may yield similar amounts of glass. In fact B124 yielded no glass.
Below 124 there is soil.
