Description (summary)	2001-06-09	lr	compact with silty patches [Input: L815LR.j]
	2001-07-07	lR	Pit found in the North side of wall f52. The pit measures approx 50 x 40cm and is next to the wall. The pit is irregular in shape with many jumbled brick faces. This pit may be related to the drainage system a5. [Input: L707LR.j]
	2001-07-07	lR	Pit containing large chunks of bricks and individual bricks lying in oblique angles with pockets of soft material in-between the brick masses. The pit appears to cut the wall f52 and the brickfall to the North. [Input: L816LR.j]

Recovery/Assignment

Notes on recovery	2001-06-25	tR	Yesterday when we first recognized f60 it appeared to be a pit cut into the brickfall which was f54. It seemed to also cut f52 which is a wall. Today after further excavation it appears that f54 has ended and that we have reached a mud brick platform or pavement on the North side of f52. The so-called pit was filled at the top with small chunks of mud brick probably from the ^bf of f54; about 5 to 10cm down we began to find larger more complete bricks. Also, there appeared to be a cut through f52 going south; a cut or channel parallel with f52 on the North side; and a channel cut perpendicular to f52 following the corner going North. These cuts or channels are under the brick platform or pavement and seem top be overlayed by two courses of bricks. The pit and system of channels may be a drainage system of some sort. This is supported by the fact that in f60 we saw a brick which appeared to have broken away from one of the platform bricks. The pit which is f60 may have been the result of ^bf which is f54 that caused the drainage "node" to collapse from its weight. This is supported by the similar type and size of brick chunks found in the top 5 to 10cm of f60. We will continue to investigate further looking for the edge of the platform and also defining the edges of the drainage channel on the South side of f52. [Input: L630TR.j]
