L9/2: - "Descent" in the whole quadrant down to 3.20 m - Same rubble (blocks of uncut limestone, very numerous, fill between the blocks of very loose earth -> very heterogeneous) at the SW. of the quadrant rather than the SE, in UF 12, under floor 761 in UF 13 - Little material - - Opening of a N/S trench in the extension of the robbing noted in the south section, to look for the rock noted in the excavations of J-Y. Monchambert => UF 16 - One fragment of glass -

L9/3: - "Descent" in UF 5 at the north of the quadrant, except in the east baulk - Almost no material - - Removal of the north part of the baulk east in UF 4 down to the base of the wall excavated in 93. => - 1 coin at 3.16 m in the fill - - Discovery of a slab of "marmaro" at the altitude of 3.30 m in the north, 3.36 m in the south which corresponds to a levelling course for wall 759. It projects to the south in relation to the only stone preserved of wall 759, ≃ 0.79 m, but not to the north. One can therefore restore a total width of wall 759 of about 1.40 m. This slab is 0.12 m thick - - Discovery in the fill (baulk) of a piece of Attic black-figure lekythos - (CER 1 = K95.1065) MATERIEL : UF 4 (L9/4 - baulk): K95.601 (= KEF 1075) = MON 7 bronze - coin (?) K 95.890 - 899 ; K95.974 - 993

UF 13 (L 9/2) : K95.1045 - 1055

UF 5 (L 9/3) : K95.1065 - 1076 (CER 1 = K95.1065) UF 16 (L 9/2) : K 95.1116 - 1125
