Notes:		We started doing B157 after the rain. B 157 lies east of the NS wall at 266.44 East and immediately south of the large pit (cut B71). We decided to remove B157 in order to reveal the reddish soil of the destruction level that continues below B157. Mainly in the upper surface and in the northern part of B157 there were angular boulders and angular cobbles. The other inclusions were few pottery sherds, very few bones, tile fragments, and carbon The rain started again, while we were working. After the removal of B157 the reddish soil of the earlier destruction level appeared.
