Place: Ar/Ge.T19.523

The soil in this locus consists of a loose, light yellow/brown silty loam matrix. In L523, you can still see some of the black staining, just inside of the LBA wall, but it consists of a smaller area than in L513 and is still not well defined. We found a small fragment of groundstone on the southern border of the locus (Ar/Ge.T19.523.L.01). We found a small ceramic fragment (Ar/Ge.T19.CO.01), which may be part of a zoomorphic figure, in the center of the locus, on the edge of L516.
There is another area of black staining coming up in the NW corner of L523. We found a small, squat stone cylinder (Ar/Ge.T19.523.L.02), just west of the block of unexcavated sediment. There are more curvilinear, black stains coming up in the southern end of the trench, though they do not form a clear feature.
