Stratum:   cistern fill
Notes:   Medium brown sandy silt, weakly cemented 5-10% sub rounded pebbles. B 65 is the removal of a deposit of fill in the Hellenistic cistern (cellar 2005-1) just E of the support beam. It likely represents the earlier deposit in which the rubble foundation was cut (B 58-63). There is a high concentration of roof tiles within the matrix, and it it very similar to B 55 and B56, possibly being a continuation of the same deposit. At the S end, against the N wall of the villa pool, a darker deposit was noted. It will be dug separately.
