Notes:   [sketch of trench and walls]
[p. 17]
Trench SE. This is a connecting trench running east of pit S between the two lines SS and SN. The walls in SE are rather complicated. I have been wondering whether the whole north-south wall here isn’t really continuous corresponding to Wall N further east. N might be the east wall and SE the west wall of a house. Certainly the two are united by one good cross wall (which runs east from pt. (28)).
But the wall in SE doesn’t seem very homogenous. For 2.00 m S N of pt. (26) it is well preserved and near surface of ground. Then it drops to a much lower level and the east face is not in same line (or it may have fallen). From (27) to (48) it seems like a different wall again tho the direction is the same as that of the first section. At (48) a branch to east but only a stub ca. 1.00 m long. From (48)-(49) the wall seems a little irregular but exists. Near (49) a branch goes out southeast. Not yet cleared.
The group (45)-(46)-(47) seems rather peculiar making a small chamber ca. 1.60 wide. The wall is very thick (water tank?). There are traces of ashes inside. The orientation is not much different from that of the large threshold block in R.
