(!) a fragment of dish west slope ... etc, rubble. closing of UF; locus 456 heap of stones cannot yet be defined in depth (it disappears into the earth, although one has dug deeply at its N end, where it is torn out. We will continue to look for what succeeds it to the North: deeper ly, below 2.48.

(1)same process of rejoining between K85. 521 - UF 134, Classical 5th fill under the floor 445 , crater with small columns K85. 523 - UF 135 - filling of the North building. Are these two rejoinings really stratigraphic indications, or are they errors in the handling of the cassionia?

Remark: there is no true level of the 5th c.: between floor 274 of ± 550 BC and the floor of ± 420 (446 in J7/2), there is no floor: fill of about 0.50 to 0.80 m.
