17 XI

In the morning a new one is opened (fourth trench East of the Campaign) trench, sector 300 to 306, quarter 5 E, the trench in 3 E, sector 116 to 122 E, where the burnt layers of the Late Bronze lie about twenty centimetres only below the surface, ending in the whole (the ashes to be cleared by a team of women).

Sector 209 E, the upper white floor is stripped about fifteen centimetres thick and resting directly on the lower packed floor with a smooth surface, adjoining several contemporary dressed blocks. = my photos of 20/XI
