At first, we had called the southern strip of the quadrant 16020, but upon further reflection, we equalized the two contexts. Brick and pebbles found in SE corner- accumulation of pebbles and bone was given context number 16023. The northern part of the layer had a lot more ceramics than the rest. Found a piece of dolium when digging tiles out of 16016, we may have taken off the top of this layer. (AKOZ and KP)
