Stratum:   Fill south of wall 291 - medium brown sandy silt, compact with 5% pebbles and cobbles
Notes:   After the cleaning was finished (B29) we started removing a layer from SW corner of the square. The soil has not changed, thus it seems to be part of the same fill. Digging continues to E. In SE corner of square, concentration of wall plaster increases. Some bigger pieces were retrieved. Inclusions such as tiles and cobbles surfaced in this area and more pieces of plaster. Two fragments of lamp surfaced near the S face of the E-W line of blocks (wall 291). Basket was stopped after reaching uniform level across the entire square S of the E-W line of blocks (wall 291). A patch of more reddish soil was detected at the SW corner plus another one at the NW corner.
