| Description | Intentional fill used to support the Lower Temenos. Consists of repeated layers of rubble and fill. Area of excavation was again reduced in size from 4.0 m-x-2.50 m to 1.60 m-x-2.5 m. Loci were assigned for some control over the pottery which was a small collection, considering the volume of earth excavated, consisting mainly of jar/jugs of slightly finer wares than were found in the higher strata excavated, scattered roof tiles and a large collection of bone. |
