- In J9/3 - 2 = end of clearing the floor 710
+ descent along the east wall face, to find the east face in bricks of the ramp and possibly a north pillar.
- In J 10 / 3: cleaning (difficult) after opening with the bulldozer on Friday UF 104 + levelling up above the presumed floor K89-3106- 710 (if it continues towards the N ?) 3112 - mixed. BOTOEC 3 = K89-3112 = fragment of creuset = UF 104
- Opening of a trench in M13/1 / L13/2 aim: to find the coastline (? = rock) located in LN 13 in 1976-1977 + extend the search towards the presumed sea.
Floor 710 = one thickness has been removed, and it is the floor the lowest which is exposed. fine well-packed floor, yellowish to grey, numerous small gravels (but ≠ of cobbled street floors).
to the east, floor 710 extends well beyond the limit presumed of the east brick wall = the floor is wider than the ramp visible in section. (note: the excavation of the East trench is approximate, the face of the brick wall was not searched for ± 1 m was reserved to try to find an extension of wall 708 = north pillar matching the pillar 460 in the long north trench; at the provisional excavation stop level, there is no wall. in this trench, deep, towards the centre: dog, Byzantine material, bottle base = pit)
