(5/VI/41) some idea. phot. now to remains. Possibly a bit of the right side is preserved, where the surface is dry and dusty. To the left is a sort of curve - rock or harder earth? (Chr.: says seems to be rock and not fallen, but lies under mr. 18.)

Cutting down at bottom, continue to find earth with many stones.

Decide to cut away the remains of the earth that was on either side and back of descending "dromos fill" (which is ws. chavara). This earth is brown and sandy with a few stones. [Sherd Lot 22, see opp.]

In the earth E. n. of where "dromo fill" was, at 1.30 below top of Wall B and .10 or .20 out from it, a Hell. incurving bowl, loose in the earth with casserole sherds. Phot. 18.26

Chr. says this is the same earth as that with stones at bottom, the stones just all roll together
