25-3.37TRENCH 2 cont'd. from J.F.D, book III p. 167

Unit 9, ^{(10, 11)} : Continue removing disturbed earth from the entire unit. Traces of χαράρα floor are found at the N-W. It is clear that this entire room has been excavated before: it is terribly disturbed. The undisturbed earth is red-brown and relatively clean. The disturbed is more stoney and greyer in colour, though it clearly consists largely of the same earth as the undisturbed.

From about oplus 9.88 change sheds to keep a close track on the disturbance.

Unit 1: Finish the S-E intrusion.

Unit 8: Clear the extension of the intrusion in unit 1, which takes out a piece of the wall between the two units. Two large hewn rectangular blocks appear in the intrusion.

Unit 4: Clear to red earth at [9.42 9.64 There is a fair amount of pithos ware and some large flat stones, on it. [three dots forming a triangle] to p. 25
