| Interpretation & Classification of the Locus |
This locus represents the pit dug by looters in modern times. It has damaged the wall 16 and the brick floor 20. Some of the objects such as the ivory disc may have come from a grave that the looters destroyed as this locus yielded some fragmentary and disarticulated human bones |
