Room H. In cleaning Room H of fifth layer, there became evident a change of soil in SW corner quarter. Here it was darker and more solid. In the rest of the room there was a sandy fall with stones and plaster. This fill with stones went down to floor, and contained no intervening layer. The plaster is not white and flowing but comes in lumps with blue pebbles. It is rather a cement.
