Other comments:
The main reasons we think this is a robbing trench is due to its linear form, orientation with known walls, and its relationship to a series of floor surfaces to the south. It runs parallel to a wall below the scarp dug in 1936 by Amyx and Morgan and is perpendicular to the possible robbing trench in B 111 and to a wall exposed in the 1961 excavations. Also a series of hard surfaces, probably floors, were removed to the south and they respect this line so it may have been the wall of a building which was robbed.
