| Notes: | Although a cleaning pass (B5003) had been taken over the western area of Room F earlier in the season, it was necessary to take this basket as a cleaning pass as well due to the heavy rains of the previous week and due to the heavy traffic across the area related to dumping of fill and sieving activities. This basket revealed a foundation trench along the eastern side of the west wall of Room F with a distinctly differing fill and a width ranging from 0.12 to 0.29m. There may be a foundation trench along the southern side of W38 (NB228) as well, but it is not clear. A floor surface was revealed to the east of the foundation trench of the west wall of Room F, in part covered by a reddish pebbly fill. The fill over this surface tended to pop off cleanly. In the southwest corner of Room F, this basket uncovered a roughly circular feature of dark reddish soil with a diameter of c. 0.95m that appreas to cut the foundaton trench of the wall west of Room F. | |
