A shallow cut was begun in the portions of meters E129-130, S14 along the western edge of the upper building wall of R12.  The grayish-brown soil with roots and small fist-sized stones was designated Locus 25.  Several very worn pieces of tile were recovered, as well as a few pieces of pottery, which will be totalled in the afternoon entry.
