2011-05-16 cJC This feature is under f315 that was matched to f353 and is dated to late EDIII based on ceramics [Input: V516CJC.j]
2011-11-21 cJC This feature is approximately the same elevation as f353 and is also located south of the apron. The notes from mH indicate that the ceramics were mixed in date but this may be due to the erosion f366, which cuts some of the floor features in the west, meaning that some features that were excavated on a level plane included some material from the brickfall as well.
