Tuesday 18 November 1969Last day of excavations of the XXth Campaign. The rock is reached in the various sectors of the second trench running along the flank west of the N-S street, including at the bottom of three "pits" and of two silos. In the new trench, several stone blocks, some with flat tops, are uncovered, but they do not define the east edge of the street.

Area 103, immediately to the west and at a lower level than the axial N-S Street, the floor white of the beginning of Cypriot Iron I lies at 0 m 70 below the most recent floor of the Ch Fer I (= last surface of use of the Street). In the thick fill of 0 m 70, no discernible stratigraphy: earth greyish and small pebbles.
