Start clearing the section against 21:28, which was left unfinished in 1939.
There was clear evidence that the E. wall of 21:28 had fallen out into the street, & the stones still lay in some sort of order. They were in red earth, which goes down to a general ashy layer with many sherds. Further south, where there were no fallen stones, similar red earth went to the same ashy layer.
4.11.48 Photo Bam. '48 D4 at ashy level, with one stone of tumble still in situ vertical against wall. Dig through ashy earth to bed rock. The deposit over the rock was packed very hard, clearly trod. The wall of 21:28 is cut through the lower (habitation) levels.
