Remarks:
Part of the foundation for Pool 4 & therefore consisted of two layers of cobblestones separated by a layer of a dry cement-like material, poss lime; the earth contained in the cobble foundation appeared to be beaten hard, thus the reason for originally naming this as a new locus, separate from L 35 & Pool 4; 10YR 7/2 light grey in addition to color listed above
