Notes:		31-05-07 This is a basket below B194 and B192. We did it to understand what is happening in the area to the west of N-S wall at 266E and to see the relationship of this area with the area between N-S wall at 266E and N-S wall at 269E and also to the North of B195. There were very small quantities of clay in the north central part of the basket. In the south-east of the Basket , immediately to the west of the threshold of N-S wall at 266E, there is a small area of very red soil (floor?) that possibly relates to the red soil area immediately to the East of the threshold and the red soil area to the North of the well/ pit B171. 1-06-07 We continued with the same basket the next day. We found coin 2007- 397 (264.33E / 1003.409N/ 87.022 El). As we approached to the end of the basket we saw possibly the Eastern part of a wall in the North-west end of B195. Also, in the south scrap of the excavation area where B195 ends, we saw yellow clay and tile fragments. Yellow clay is visible also in the scrap in the western limit of the basket. When we finished the basket we reached three different areas. In the North-western area below the Basket there is hard red soil. In the South-western area there is soft black soil similar to the soil of B195. In the central area below B195 there are many boulders in the soi. We are going to proceed with the digging of the strip of dirt that lies at a higher level immediately to the west of B195. Total count of bone : Number 39 W. = 0.31
