Stratum:   Inclusions: pottery, small stones - 20%
Description:   The soil color is light yellowish brown. The soil compaction is firm. The soil is poorly sorted. It is silty sand.
Notes:   We decided to excavate the strip E of robbing trench 818, which appeared to be different from the possible floor surface found under 939 and from floor 936.
It was a thin layer, poorly soorted, and few pottery sherds were found in it.
It came on a hard packed fill, made of big stones and tiles, and we argue this may be the continuation of wall 918.

We argue that this context is part of the dumped fill of the robbing trench (818) and fills cut 919.
