2585 DIARY thumb size. 1 figurine frag F1646 and 1 coin F1647 found on bedrock. Handful sherds from sieve No other finds. This stratum may ante date construction of early wall.

[margin left: F1646 1647]

Removed room 5 west side 2.00-4.60 m S. of N. wall, p. 2529-4, what may well be footing trench for stylobate wall, slightly yellowish loose soil, a few rough stones averaging egg size; just west of this narrow trench are many more stones some up to bucket size + averaging 1/2 foot to foot size. This stratum, as yet unremoved (see Film 152-14) was cut almost certainly to lay foundation of stylobate wall. It is cut in a straight line parallel with wall. Handful of sherds; 1 tile frag placed in sherd bag, and 4 sherds from sieve which I am placing
