Lots of pithos fragments visible in profile of UB wall in J/0 after this grid was finished off; probably a pithos bottom is situated right below this wall.
All fine pottery in J/0 was found below fallen pithos fragments. This pottery seemed to be lying on a somewhat lower level than pottery and esp. pithos 1 in I-J/1 eastwards. To check levels, we went down some 8 cm in J/0-1, following level of pottery found next to UB wall in J/0. In
profile towards I if could be seen how floor level sinks westwards. In J/1 in this cut, we apparently dug into pavement (yellow, very clayey layer, small patches of carbon); sherds collected here labelled (C). Also, pithos 1 with its bottom partly preserved gives a clear indication of floor level here.
Very little bones were found in whole burnt B-layer above floor layer of pithos area.
New cut:
Started a new cut north of previous R5 cuts, comprising grids B-D/0-3. 4 men working here. In grids next to UB N-S and E-W walls, this area is partly covered by stonefill (\'pavement\'), as southwards. Also, some traces of \'red area\' upper
wall are discernible on the surface. This cut covers the NW angle of big R5 unit of UB.
Started by the UB wall in B-D/0, working eastwards, going down some 15 cm (A), partly through a compact stonefill, partly through dry compact light brown soil. No clear east side of UB wall visible yet. At depth of ca. 15 cm, we seem to strike new stratum, multicolored (yellow, red patches, carbon dots); we go down as far as this.
In grids B-D/1-2, we struck \'red area\' wall; stones some 5 cm below prev. dug ground, covered by (and embedded in) same strikingly red-colored soil (disintegrated mudbricks?) as e.g. grid I/1-2. Sherds found in red kept apart.
