-Debris deposit along E. side of trench, sandwiched between two sections of possible exposed floor surface. This context excavated in an attempt to reveal more floor surface to join these two sections of floor already revealed.
-Immediately apparent that this context has significantly more tile and stones than overlying context 111 and adjacent context 117. Context has slightly more tiles and stones than overlying contexts 109 (NE corner of trench) and 110 (SE corner) which may also be debris deposits.
-Underneath context, earth is more reddish and uniform, with few inclusions. This may be a continuation of floor surface. This is uniform throughout context, except for patch of stone and tile in the N. section of the bottom of context 119, next to wall 49, which extends down to a lower level than the rest of the exposed surface level. This may be a debris deposit or a pit, and will be excavated next.
