Stratum:   Possible pit just north of Wall 260. The stratum is dark reddish brown silty sand with 35% pebbles and 5% cobbles, loosish.
Notes:   B 30 is the removal of the patch north of foundation trench B 25, which at first appearance, had few cobbles. The shape of B 30 turned into what seems like a pit, which is directly north of Wall 260 and which was cut by the foundation trench (B 25 and B 27). We stopped excavating B 30 when the soil became clayish and some cobbles cropped up. We sieved 100% Found bronze. See pg. 54 for top plan.
