Monday 16 September 1963Opening of the excavations of the 16th campaign at ENKOMI, at 6h 30, with 33 workmen, distributed over the trenches North Temple (supervision J. Lagarce) and West Paving. During this first day, the excavation again brings to light the great frequency of old excavations "pits or ladyas", as well in the North Temple trench as in the West Paving trench, where one reaches the average depth of 0 m 50, where the archaeological ground is still in place. Very few sherds at first, in the first 25 centimetres. Much more abundant afterwards. – In the area of the Sanctuary of the Centaurs, the clearing of the earth and sand brought in is undertaken with the help of the women: one notes thus with satisfaction the good state of the site.
