Today we started by taking off the rest of L3058 which is the locus of fill above the N part of wall L3068. This should have been taken out earlier because it comes later than the wall. With this gone we notice two things, first, the stones that connect the middle northern part of the wall with the part that comes out of the baulk are completely missing. The second is that we have found the continuation of the foundation trench L3076, which is seen under the wall L3068 in the south part of the trench. I believe this is connected to the foundation L3076 because the soil has the same color, 10 YR 4/3, and the same texture and composition, loose, loamy dirt. Also in the fill above wall L3068, L3058, there a few a few spots where there were remnants of deteriorated mud brick. Looking at the soil between the wall and trench we see the are contains many broken oven pieces where rocks of wall L3068 should be. We think that there must be a pit here and can see it in the east baulk as being a lower section of what we excavated last year as L____, a large square oven complex that was founded on the wall. The pit has been assigned L3077. Some of the soil in the pit is burned and little red and friable which furthers the connection between the pit and the oven L3030.
