No other finds save 1 figurine which I have placed in sherd bag. Cleaned room 5, center, lower debris, part left round fallen column drums & architectural blocks after removing these. Found about 1/6 bucket sherds and frags. of pithos which may belong to another pithos from this room now in storeroom.

Page 2524 runs 2.90-6.65 m. north of s. wall, P. 2505-1. Very loose smi dark brown soil with comparatively few stones, all rough ones, averaging about fist size - some up to half foot size.

Page 2528 21 Feb. 51. Work called off at 9.00 A.M. on account of rain. 2513 22 Feb. 51. Removed S. Bldg., room 3, south side, P. 2573-4, very loose reddish soil, great many rough stones in upper part of stratum averaging between egg & fist size - none larger - fewer stones toward bottom of stratum smaller and fewer averaging about walnut size. 3 tile frags., one thrown out, and two placed in sherd bag. About 12/ bucket of sherds and coin F 1597. The top of strat. 5 below 4 appears to have been a ground level at one time - definitely so - consists of beaten earth and small chunks of stone (chavara) about thumb size. This ground level or floor does not occur near s. wall - that is not the beaten mud although small chunks of chavara do occur immediately over foundations for south wall of building. Page 2530 Removed room 5, w. side, 5.40-11.55 m. south of north wall, P. 2523-1, moderately loose reddish soil, many rough stones averaging foot size, few up to bucket size, fair number of smaller stones also. Stratum appears to be ancient debris which was later filled in. The bottom of this fill served as foundation for an early floor - over the demolished foundation of an early wall running north-south. Remains of this floor occur farther south and along w. stylobate wall. See Film 149-28, 29, 30. About 1/5 bucket sherds (no late sherds noted) and about bucket of tiles which I have stacked on w. wall opposite column 4. No other finds.
