Remarks: Soil was 3-4 for hardness by N balk, & was c 15-20 cm deeper (higher) than the loose part on the N side of Wll 4 which was about 2 for hardness; there was more consolidated soil (perhaps 2-3) lower down under the loose material; small charcoal bits throughout
Stratigraphy Remarks: Locus 11 may seal against wall 6 or go under it. After removal of 6, the latter is favored, but still not clear.
