Grid 32
So do we. We won't be digging here in 2015, this area is being turned over to the park, but there is every possibility we will dig somewhere nearby. Grid 32 has exceeded our wildest expectations and produced a rich corpus of material. The above building, which still appears to be Byzantine in date, is substantial and may stand close to the cardo, one of the city's main streets. It's size and the remnants of the luxurious materials looted from it, suggests it was of some importance. One has to wonder, what might be found in its vicinity. Hopefully, we'll find out during the 2015 summer field season.
