Description	This locus consisted of a Munsell red brown (5YR 6/3) soil, loosely packed with yellow-green clay inclusions recorded as roof fall materials in the exterior corridor excavations (1994). The roof fall, originally hard-packed, rolled clay, is commonly found near the floor in other excavated sites. In antiquity, the clay, compacted with a stone roller over a beam and reed under structure as found, for example, in the restored village at Taiyiba, would fall from these unstable roof areas during a fire or other disaster before the wall material. The reeds and beams may have been used subsequently for the fires of passersby. Some large ashlars were removed along with pottery, metal, bone, glass, stone and tesserae. Two Byzantine lamp fragments were found in this locus. Pottery inclusions, 29057, were fragments of lamp discus (96-L-39), jugs, large storage vessels, plates, bowls, roof tiles and cooking pots. Metal fragments, 29065, were three pieces. Bone inclusions, 29060, continued to be an assemblage of goat, sheep, pig, camel, and small fowl. Tesserae inclusions, 29061, non painted, amounted to 359 pieces. These were counted but not saved. Stone inclusions, 29067, were two gray marble fragments that were counted but not saved. Glass inclusions, 29068, were two rims and two body sherds.
