… 374 and 375. After square E was excavated the section toward the next square F was observed. At the top it shows a reddish hard clay floor. In the koftoura the layers slope down, consisting of highly irregular levels of dark and brown earth, down toward wall 53-58. The layers continue beneath this wall undisturbed. Next to the wall however all these thin-layered strata are cut through and the earth nearest the wall stones is disturbed. The red clay floor however runs right up to the wall. It is clear what was earlier observed, that the koftoura's fill was undisturbed before wall 53-58 was built, partly cutting through the fill layers.

Square F is laid out and excavated with the following finds:
