He separates as follows: 1. Bases of carriages ^chariot groups requiring men. These are lettered and go to their place with the other carriage ^chariot parts. They are all together 2. Bases of "man + 2 horses" groups - they receive the same treatment as 1. 3. Bases for horses legs with the two joined legs of the horse upon them. These go to the basket of horses of the same section. 4. Bases for horses legs without the legs. These are put in bags, section by section, tagged, and all placed in one large basket. 5. Bases and pieces of carriage groups: these are left for the present in the baskets, according to section. No. of joins: 23 Dec 1 Antonis and Nicos worked at joins today Euthymios was given two more baskets of chariots, bases, etc., to separate, and also went to Pamboula for Christos. Christos, besides mending, is still at work on the "group" pieces, a tedious job but one which produces little for the time, but that little, it seems to me, of greatest chronological importance. This afternoon I finished the re-arrangement of the work room, and tonight hope to finish the sherds. No. of joins: 15.
