Notes:   15/4/16
We begin to remove the pebbly matrix that lies on top of the redder pebbly matrix in the southern part of the room. This is a thin layer (c.5 cm thick). This reveals one new possible cutting, along the edge of Broneer's trench and a very rocky/gravelly deposit under most of 398 (411). In the area between pit 364/361 and Broneer's western trench is a hard white patch.
