Mission report C. Morhange 26/9/96 to 6/10/96.

We were able to excavate and take samples in sounding 3/4 in I/11 . We can note the following points of interest =

1) the ramp and its recharge ( UF 107 states 1 and 2) are sealed by a thin passage of gravel, with fauna marine (UF 106) This layer may correspond to a sediment at water level and therefore indicate the passage between the upstream sector of the ramp ( emerged ) and the downstream submerged sector ( Towards + 0.75 cm / Cadastre ) marine It remains to find the layers of Vase V of settling corresponding to the use of the ramps . One should be able to find them downstream of the 7 ème pillar ( sounding 15 ) . ( UF 106 corresponds to a final use , or 2) then transgressive sediment after abandonment UF 107, pit the ramp being broken up by a pit .) - 312 ? ( Sea level in the Hellenistic period , beyond - 312 at least at + 75 cm / Cadastre )
