give this name to the south extention of 15:3. Here as elsewhere top-soil gave way to reddish earth, about 40 cm. down. We dug through this and found a level with many white grits at 3.68. Below this we had a continuation of the 3.78-3.89 level of 15:3 at 3.74. The earth appeared continuous in the two areas. Below 3.74 we find a level at 3.92, with less chips than in the 4.04 level in 15:3, with which it is flush.
