[illegible, ~5 lines] Sherds from Trench 43 - aside from those described pp. 62-88, there are some odd collections: - "Ay. Epm. x 43 p. 117-3 Δρομος του Βοριου ταφου" contains only 3 items, a loomweight? (short cylinder pierced off center) and two amphora tips, each w. depression center underneath, and another depression possibly accidental opposite to original one. One of them (six-sided tip, drawn) is a type of Classico- Roman I (flaring pug, centered depressin) the other tapers downward. It seems possible these objects may have been used in a rough way as wheels. ? 11. D. 6. 1940 Ay. Ephagios/501. 10.5. 1940, collection "from the sieve" attributed to pots # 1, 2, 3 of Tomb 1 and one journal dated thus.
