Discussion: At the end of unit 13737, we recognized a hard surface that almost resembled mudbrick material-very clayey.

{x4, x5, x8, x9}: now 13762, since we now see the wood of a coffin. (05/08/06)

We leave the iron nails in the soil, since there are more coming up, apparnetly showing the outline of the coffin.

X6 went to the laboratory in two parts, one on 02/08/06, one on 03/08/06
