Stratum:   fill E of wall 294, N of wall 215; greyish-brown, silty sandy, compact soil, with 10-20% inclusions, including coarse pebbles, tile, and small cobbles
Notes:   Basket 55 is a continuation of Basket 52. A large pick was used to break the soil. More plaster was found at the N end than the S end. Little tile was found near wall 215; more found in the N part of the trench. By wall 294 and wall 291, more large cobbles and tile were found. 2 fragments of white glass were found 2 m. apart and join. We stopped Basket 55 due to a soil change; in the NE part of the basket, we came upon a level of tiles and cobbles, which may destruction debris or possibly associated with the robbing of part of wall 291.
