Excavated view of east foundation wall north of kitchen doorway. Excavated 8 inches deeper than in DTR09PH67--1001.01.151, showing displaced stones [the soil-darkened stone to the left is rotated 45 degrees out of its corner position below later jamb plinth-block seen in upper left corner of photo]. Degraded mortar, caused by saturated soil's dissolution
