Removed SE Bldg., room 1, portico opposite entrance between fallen door jambs to north and south, 2043-4. The top of this served as a foundation for a paved floor which once lay here. After it was removed it served as a floor in its stead. The top of this stratum was fairly loose; lower near bedrock it was harder, more compact, and somewhat redder; a good number of stones, rough ones only averaging between fist and notebook size. The soil throughout strat. 4 was red. About 1/4 bucket of sherds or less, and over 1/2 bucket tiles. From here came also F 1129, 1135, & 1136. No other finds. Am stacking tiles [red ink: P02/11] on bedrock at entrance to room near fallen lower s. door jamb. Stacking tiles from 2043-3 at E 11.50, S 8.00.

Removed Temple A, w. cella, w. side, N 0-8, P. 2019-4, loose dull brown soil, great many rough stones for which see Film 141-32.

As top of 1941-1 remained exposed for some time they may be intrusive - almost certainly are. / why?
