| Notes: | Context 792 is the leveling fill for the courtyard surface (772). The depth of the fill varied between 0.11 to 0.32 m. The majority of the coins found in the sieve were from the southern half of the context. The tessera with gold [MF-2015-34] was from near Coin 266, although we do not have an exact find spot for it. The courtyard and leveling fill were cut by the 19th century pit and the large pit (733/717/726/747).
