| Notes: | We decided to do B155 because we thought that B154 (immediately to the East) actually continues under B155 and as a result, we should have excavated B154 after finishing with B155. But later we discovered that B154 probably stops at the western end of B154. Under B 155 and also under B154, we found very orange soil possibly related to mudbrick. This orange soil could possibly relate to the orange destruction basket 117 found NW of basket 155. Under B155 we discovered a layer with tiles and reddish soil, more red than that of B155, that is a destruction deposit. We decided to continue B155 towards its southest limits and then return to the reddish lense with tiles and determine its relationship with B155. In the south part of the basket the fragments of tiles increased significantly under B155. This was interpreted as a destruction level and will be examined in other baskets. During the work in basket 155, we noticed two coins lying outside the limits of the basket. We collected them and measured their coordinates: Coin 288 (266.30E/ 1001.46N/ 87.23 EL) was collected ca 35cm east of B155.
