KALORIZIKI, TRENCH 4

NB I (McF),pp.12 ff.

5-10 April 1952

Dug Trench 4 down to bedrock except where this has been cut, probably by modern tomb riflers. See plan and photo Film 166-18. In the south corner of trench some pots were found.

The soil everywhere is about the same - light brown very sandy soil - 7 rough stones from foot to bucket size, otherwise hardly any stones at all. These stones came from south corner - level about 0.40 m. The rock is everywhere ammo-chavara.

If one were to dig deeper near south corner one might find the Archaic tomb from which these sherds and pots came.
