Remarks

Remarks:

There are two pit-like areas in the southern part of the square. One extends into the N balk of 7K24 and was excavated as locus 7K24:11. The second is connected to the first for about 0.25m and was excavated as part of locus 11 in that square. In 7K34 there was material under Wall 6 and was excavated as locus 9. These may actually be two separate pits. This will be determined next season.
