The soil conditions in room 16 are exceptionally simple.

Along the same wall as this find (see the sketch), on both sides of the gateway a quantity of fragments of a bronze band (--- cm broad) were found, 281. Among these fragments some are provided with excellent punched ornaments. The bronze band may perhaps have been applied to the wall from which it fell onto the floor. Along the other walls no such fragments were found. (The same day, the anniversary of the start of the Sun excavation, a large archaic head double head was found in room 14. See below.)
