amongst the [strikeout: ruins] stones to North, the soil is blacker. Removing the lighter (third layer), between these stones and wall parallel with them running EW.

Room N cleared loose fill, plaster higher in each corner with division one on each side. It would seem that the plaster flowed down from each corner toward the middle of the room but that there was not sufficient of it to fill the whole floor. Removed white plaster to next layer which was a dirtier [strikeout: dustier] grayer color.

Room Q, removed all of white plaster and much of gray which gradually shades off into black particularly in SW corner. There was a small island of yellower plaster in NE corner.

Room E, Began removing top layer and went into second, in what will henceforth be called third section of that room.

Work stopped. 16:05
