10/10Tomb 10 is opened and our fears are confirmed. One sees a typical robbery excavation: in the middle of the floor lay a large Red Pol. jug, which had been left behind, since it was considerably damaged. The upper part of a smaller incised jug together with numerous sherds. In the niche skeletal remains. We clean up thoroughly after Markides' depredations and number in the following manner:

1.Red Pol. jug damaged . height

2.— 〃 — incised jug damaged

15/10The so-called "chamber δ" in tomb 6 belongs, as the tomb account on p. 43 shows, rightly to another tomb, which we therefore uncover from behind. The second tomb's dromos is found and cleared and is called tomb 15. Its boundary walls are in modern times destroyed, as it has been used as a stone quarry. A door packing which nevertheless does not belong to "6 δ" is found, and outside it an entire vessel. See otherwise the tomb register. The vessel is levelled in and taken up.
