pt. 1483à 0,45In the 8 sectors of the Forrer area we try to find Floor II. which seems to be the base of the thick layer of sherds and ashes that we have found so far a little everywhere but especially in sector 104 . 205: a wall of rubble (1) appears, top at ~ 0,50. Immediately beside it to the W a wretched low wall (2) of rubble of a single course, belonging to Floor I. of which we leave a balk at 0,30. Wall (1) would be then of Level II. 204 To the S of wall (1) we leave a balk Floor I. at 0,30 and go down alongside without however finding Floor II. A low wall (2) in the SW corner, top at 0,30 is of Floor I. level. 103 spindle whorl in steatite (1) incised. ∅ 41 ; h 11 mm (drawing)
