Description	The surface layer of topsoil and fill is a fine loose, sandy, gray-brown (5YR/4/3) dry soil with squill (onion) and other vegetation over the surface. The Pierre Anta pier Locus 2, Wall Locus 3, rock fall Locus 4, and doorway Locus 5, emerged in this locus. The pottery distribution includes rims, handles, bases, and body sherds that were of the Nabataean motif for jars, juglets, bowls, large storage vessels, cooking pots, and plates. Some had slips and washes of white, off-white, red, and black. The pottery appears to be the result of semi-nomadic occupation over the period of deposition. The plaster inclusions consisted of both foundation plaster and some finished plaster colored in off-white, red, blue, and white. Some tesserae were found as well. There were two coins in this locus along with two Byzantine, three Nabataean lamp discus', and a Rhodian stamped handle, an archaeological horizon marker.
