Excavations
based on the
Geophysical Survey Results
Cheryl Munson
and Jon Criss carefully exposing the subterranean floor of the burned
house.
The red in the soil is fired clay wall plaster, or
daub, from the building’s fallen wall.
The excavated base
of the house floor in Block 10.
Note the burned timbers from the structure lying on the floor.
The dark soil in the center of the trench is the fill of the house wall
trench.
