Definition: Unit is defined by mudbrick walls to N and S of unit, unexcavated portion to E of unit, and units 11015 and 11016 to W of unit 

Execution: Maddock, hoe, shovel, and trowel to remove and clear matrix; brush for features 

Condition: Dry and windy -- soil damp at lower level portion in a minor way
