Drawing: circular object with concentric rings, a central dot, and six smaller circles with dots arranged in a ring; labels: 7; 6] [page number: 49

7.21 (S half) + 7.22 E below floor 2 thick ash layer containing Mycenean sherds on E side

7.16. E large square finished stone lying E-W a bit too far S to be in line with wall in 6.16, a bit too far N to be in line with N end of tomb in 6.16-17.

7.17. E Mycenean sherd in S balk on 3rd floor 7.22. E N of balk, 3rd floor has an abrupt step-like fall in level 2 meters W of E end of square, falls 9 cm. However a very thin trace of floor at higher level seems to continue to S on balk. Two sherds on higher surface, one hanging over lip. So perhaps floor 3 was inadvertantly cut thru on W? [Later, bowl + infant bones found here, cf. p. 11] On W side of pit just to E, one sees lower level as a layer below floor 3.
