Temple A w. cella w. aisle N 8-14 1913-2

Strat. p. 1913-2 I level off at depth of about 0.08 m below top of what appears to have been foundation course of west wall of aisle. The orthostates on this wall seem far too good not to have once appeared over original floor level. If this is true, then the original floor was raised at a later period.

Margin left: [illegible

orthostates may well be part of orig. fndtn]

Found also here coin F 1120 and F 1121, frags of saucer type lamp with pinched lip, one bronze nail & metal frags, placed with sherds in bag (in box), and marble frag. F 1122.
