Unit 1: The inner (E.) west wall also has a Baugrab from the 10.76= to 9.78 (rock) floor, filled with decomposed rock. Clear this out. The wall is built of a narrow row of stones, filled behind with decomposed rock. Dig through the 9.76= 9.98 level, finding βράχος, perhaps not in situ, at 9.76= 10.14, save in the E, where there is an intermediate of sand fill pebble floor. Photos Bam 9.82 of pithos with Baugrab dug out, before removing. (see p. 98, ⁹⁶ too)

The south Baugrab was filled for the first four or five centimeters with red earth with much decomposed sandstone, below that with nearly pure sandstone. & The E. wall (to unit 8) also has a Baugrab, filled with red earth with gravel and fragments of green βράχος. This stops at the bed rock, and this too is cut from the rock = 9.93 floor.

Unit 12: Dig below the 10.47= 10.53 floor, through sandy red earth with decomposed brick and much broken stone. Began (to p. 101)
