Sketch of the section

It seems that at one moment the road ceased to be in use - Under the N.-S. road, the layer of brick-red earth appears also, with here and there small pockets of charcoal - The carbonised wood from Pt 215 was recovered for C 14

Pt 216: bowl "wavy line" almost complete in the northern part of the trench, between two dressed blocks, above Floor II, in layer 5 depth: 1.00 other fragments of the same style are associated with it.
