Stratum:   Trench S II, south extension
Notes:   We have struck so many walls and stones that it becomes impossible for us to proceed deeper without destroying something.
So I am stopping here and extending E end of S to south hoping for a better chance to go deep here.
There are new lots of S I, S II, S III, S IV from this new section.
[James-Nakassis: The elevations for the south extension are taken from those of the main section of trench S (so we are assuming that he is digging the same levels). Note that this assumption is corroborated by the fact that the bottom of S IV south extension is 1.25 m below ground level, as is the bottom of S IV in the main section (see B80 and B90).]
[This pottery is probably from NB 81 B 79, NB 81 B 83 and NB 81 B 90]
