June 22cont'd TRENCH XII M GRAVE — DROMOS

Notes to plan, p. 65, of S-E wall of Dromos

Unless other wise noted, the surface shown is smooth-cut bed-rock

The lower 0.65 of hard earth, in which were whole pots and sherds (see p. 62) corresponds to the 0.65 of more roughly hewn rock, so that it may be assumed both that the fill is original, and that the tomb was designed with this in view, so that only that part of the facade which is over 0.65 from the floor was to be visible.

Margin left: No, disturbed

A large crack runs down 0.25 to 0.45 from the facade. A large part of the bed-rock (the outer part) has broken off and fallen about 0.10 below its original position.

Actual closing of door by large slabs, one of stone, 1 of plaster (ca. thick, long, wide), approximately parallel to facade of grave, resting on bed of rocks and soil piled up like very loose wall in door.
