Pebbleshed stratum 3. Here there appears to be absolutely no difference between our 3 & 4. There was no strat 5 (ATA) here which explains it. The ground level or trodden level forming 5 does not occur here. Doubtless it was cut into - probably in the 1st century A.D. and silt. Composed of the sand we are finding filled the Roman excavation. - East 0-4 contains a harder stratum of [illegible] which is. reached at a higher level than the top of the moulded base. See Film 97 No. 33.34.
