Post A3x 3x At right angles to the line A1-A4, 7.00 meters south of post A3 7.00 It is 1.31 m. below the center post, 9.09 absolute.

The elevation of point B2a given on p. 84 (i.e. 9.69 m. absolute) is inacurate. This post is 1.87 below the center post, therefore 9.65 absolute. This is due to the settling of the earth around post A3, from which the measurements were made. Thus all elevations between pages 84 and 143 must be corrected by adding 4 cm. to the depth.

Unit 18: Dig through the 10.84-10.92 floor. It lies o<e>r a level, 10.84-10.92/ x which consists of bed-rock in the center; of a mixed looking layer of pieces of yellow sandstone, some lime, + red clay above (w), and of red clayey earth below (E.) In the south east corner is a very hard patch, rather rough, of fused limestone fragments.

Unit 20: Dig below 10.27-10.50, through building tumble (red earth with many stones), finding a level at 10.36-10.58. The stones continue down. Dig below this, and start finding another level in tumble. See p. 142 and photo.

Unit 26: Dig below 10.59-10.72, finding a layer similar in tumble at 10.67-10.80
