Wednesday 18 September 1963Third day of the excavations. Tr 124 E of 1962, north of the Sanctuary of the Bulls pt. top. 972 at 0m70 depth and 17 cm below a floor paved with sherds, fine steatite seal engraved with an animal in situ, noticed by chance on the section of a collapse during the winter. This seal, dome-shaped, dating from Cypriot Iron I has an interesting stratigraphic position below the floor of sherds whose level corresponds to that of the two-headed centaurs of 1962, south of the wall. The operations of removing the protective sand are finished during the day, while a new bull's head appears, to the south of the north-east "pit" of pt. top. 902
