Stratum:   Pocket of redeposited destruction fill - light brown compact sandy silt with 2% pebbles all sizes
Notes:   We began basket 48 sieving every 5th zembil to see if there was more than pottery in the destruction deposit.
In among the pot sherds was found a painted hand (white) holding an ovoid shape painted red and orange (pomegranate? Quince?)
There seems to be no plaster but there are occasional pieces of grey clay and tiles.
We stopped B48 when the reddish soil ended. It seems to have been a redeposited destruction debris pocket. There wasn't enough to sieve.
