Nov. 15 Continued eastward extension of trench 9, uncovering lower course of coping blocks in situ. Starting with the next eastward block from C (77-32 m.) on plan p. 151 the lower moldings begin to be better preserved and are of an entirely different type from those on the lower coping blocks previously discovered. It appears that frag. 2 on p. 149 is from the lowest member of one of these blocks.

Drawing: profile of lower coping block; labels: -0.45-, 0.235

Lower coping block E of 77 on p. 151 = 83 on p. 154-C. L. 0.830

at the west end of block 77 a fragment of a stone basin with lug, again just below euthynteria level

154 at Mr. Hill's suggestion turned over fallen block 4 on p. 150 as a possible candidate for the orthostates of the coping. Dimensions H 0.51; W. 0.1025; T. 0.31. Seems to be of same stone as lower coping course.

In this space, where the lowest course of the podium is missing as are the small blocks behind it, we suspect there was a stairway Photo 14 shows section from N., with top soil removed.
