(rock) fill; below at a sandy strosis, and still lower at a layer of grey clayey earth which lies under the sand. Both of these stroseis seem to run under the yellow (rock) layer.
In the south, about 2.00 north of the triangular piece of rock in the side, the loose stoney fill stops with firmer brown at 7.30 earth with many less stones.
20.5.38 Photo 287 showing pit with loose stoney fill removed.
The loose stoney fill gave 3 baskets of sherds and a large bag of bones, mostly of large cattle. There was much ash in it, and many of the stones were burnt.
In the S. two meters of the pit dig below 7.30 through firm brown earth, and find softer grey brown earth at 7.42, sloping off rapidly to the E.
Dig below 7.42 and find the same stoney earth as below the loose stoney fill in the N. part of the pit, a regular layer of sandy grey earth free of stones, sloping down steeply to the south
