Narrative

We spent the day contending with the carpet of stones in the interior of the room. We continued excavating locus 07, and uncovered a sloppy line of stones running parallel to the northwest wall. This is very likely wall fall (the stones don't seem to be resting on the floor and they are not neatly aligned), but the quasi-linear alignment makes me hesitant to remove them. I troweled around them most of the day and removed some that were clearly floating. We also created a new locus today, locus 08, which covers the rest of the interior of the room. This is the same dark brown silt matrix as of locus 05. The interior courses of the walls are very well made, and in the west corner, it is clear that the stones were plastered. Plastering is preserved particularly well on a few stones.
