Stratum:   fill E of wall 294, N of wall 215; reddish-brown, silty sandy soil, compact, poorly sorted, with 40% inclusions of tile, coarse pebbles, and cobbles
Notes:   We are leaving a martyr or safety bulk to prevent contamination between Basket 57 and the layer of "debris" discovered in Basket 48; at this point, we are unsure whether this "debris" continues under Basket 57 or was cut into it. There is a high concentration of tile, painted plaster, and limestone cobbles in the NW and SW part of B57 and the area directly E of wall 294; is this destruction debris? In the area directly E of wall 294, we discovered a Corinthian cover tile with complete profile (L. 35 cm, W. 16 cm, TH. 5 cm, H. 9 cm). In the area directly S of wall 294, we are hitting stones that run towards the E; is this part of an E-W wall? In the SE part of our basket, we discovered a lense/patch of re-deposited colluvium which seems to run under the soil of B57. This colluvium abuts wall 215 and relates to that excavated in B33. This soil is reddish-purple with 60% inclusions of pebbles and relatively sterile. A coin was found at E 412.00/N 970.81 with an elevation of 91.24. Tiles found in the N end of B57 against wall 294.
