DIARY 1808 cont. from p. 1806 debris.
April 13 Began digging immediately north of north wall of East Room of Bath to find entrance to hypercaust -- central part of wall. See section p 1807-2. Light brown soil.. No debris. Soil dark only next to wall. Yesterday dug hypercaust under East room of Bath to depth of 75 cm below brick epistyle. All the soil was brown in color. Few stones coming out only, unworked stones averaging about 25 cm for their greatest dimension Have not removed any soil yet further north than 1.10 m from supporting wall immediately to south of hole in floor. Strat. changes at 0.75 m below brick epistyle where dark soil is found - very much darker than upper soil. North of 1.10 m this upper accumulation of soil is about 40 cm below epistyle of bricks. Placing all sherds found north of 1.10 m from supporting wall down until strat. changes, in separate bag. As there is no hole in roof over this area, the accumulation should be less disturbed by whatever came in
