The cut of the pit is completely gone, the one dug in B5085, 5087, 5088. A very soft lense was found running through in SW-NE direction in the area. It is full of charcoal and sandy soil. This basket is closing. We outlined the deposit and will cover it with nylon. It (lense) rests on the red soil to the W but we did not determine the relationship to the E. It may run under the E-W wall (N wall of Rm F, West). More stones have been revealed on the cross wall. This lense may be associated with water due to its sandiness.
