27/10The trial pits 3 and 4 of the 25th of this month turned out entirely negative. From Byzantine to E. C. mixed up with hullabaloo or noise. The base scraping yielded purely geometrical [results].

In the foreign collapse layer lies a stone-wall-like stone setting, which is levelled in, photographed and dismantled; the following figures apply to the stones' upper measurements.
