Place: Ar/Ge.T19.530

This locus is characterized by the grey/brown silty loam matrix. We found a small piece of groundstone (Ar/Ge.t19.530.L.01), just west of the wall fall in the SE corner of the locus. We found a small shell (land snail?) (Ar/Ge.T19.530.SH.01) just under the LBA wall (on the eastern side of it), just below the datum. We found another piece of groundstone (Are/Ge.T19.530.L.02) in the SE corner of the locus. A large number of bones are coming out of the SE corner of the locus.
At the top of the locus, just south and west of the large, dressed stone on the northern wall, there is an area of diffuse black staining which doesn’t seem to be a clear feature, but is around the last remaining area of light yellow/brown soil. Under this area (~ 4 cm below) is another area of diffuse black staining. There are burned bones and ceramics coming out of the stain. In L530, we found a ceramic disk/”jar stopper” (Ar/Ge.T19.530.CO.01) in the NW corner of the locus. We found another small shell (Ar/Ge.T19.530.SH.02) on the southern edge of the locus. We found a small piece of azurite (Ar/Ge.T19.530.M.01) near the center of the locus. We also found a bone bead on the southern edge of the locus, south of the large, dressed stone. We found a piece of groundstone (Ar/Ge.T19.530.L.03) west of the wall fall in the center of the locus. We found a piece of charcoal (Ar/Ge.T19.530.C14.01) just south of the large, dressed stone and another large piece of charcoal (Ar/Ge.T19.530.C14.02) just SW of the large, dressed stone at the same level. There are EBA pottery sherds coming out of L530.
