By the end of the morning, one notes the existence of pockets of sterile mud homogeneous, of the kind of the layer superficial covering the whole of the enclosure.

The essential discovery, in the afternoon, was that of the fine "threshold" in stone of the West DOOR of the Town, in the axis and continuation of E-W Street no. 5 called of the Residence 18. This threshold, by its position stratigraphic, immediately under the stone metalling of level I, appears attributable to level II of Enkomi, characterised by the Iron pottery I wavy line and now by the Sanctuary of the god with the ingot of 1963 – No find of movable object this day.
