The UF 5 stops on the north face of wall 495 that is not yet dismantled. • Opening of a UF 7 , in the small room formed by wall 495 to the W, 498 to the S and 485 to the E, so as and to the N to reach floor 722 and to read both faces of the wall 495. We quickly reach, 5 or 6 cm below the level starting level a dark grey floor, very little dusty (little fill (rare debris)) very different from that of UF 5 , and much more clayey, homogeneous. [ see the levels of the Hellenistic house ]

Level of this floor (on which wall 495 rests) deeper and more firmly founded ( 2 or 3 courses ) than expected : in all alt : 5.88 , floor 747

We close UF 7
