Large rocks & loose earth; bones were usually rare except in the corner of Walls 11 & 13 near the floor of the strine room; the bones continued along all of the N walls of the room; pottery was also very rare until we reached just above the floor; LIr2/P pottery may have come from the top near Wall 15; U08--we discovered that we had not reached the floor in U06; it was under L 16
