Remarks
Remarks:
Part of the surface was plastered (10YR 7/3) at Loca 16 & 29/35; uneven; we did not dig into or below this locus in U02; rises to the W about 20 cm from Wall 28; then there is a continual slope down toward the E; we did not uncover it to the E but left L 55 on top of it to keep the surface in the square level
