Description	Locus 12 is the accumulation of fill overlying the west edge of the north door’s threshold during the first visible period of collapse in the trench. The deposit filled the posthole entirely and was of a fine, loose, sandy texture. The presumably Nabataean coin found in this deposit should help to date the latest period of the door’s use.
