In Well 6 in QN 5D a jug in beige base ring ware, intact Near this well is the floor at 1.10 which covers the sherds of the M.B.; it passes above foundations that we are clearing this morning. They are doubtless contemporary with the Middle Bronze and resemble moreover those under the "house with dressed stones" (Q Remparts).

QN 5E Pt 19 A sherd of Syrian import at 1.70 in the foundations under the large slabs. Interesting, I think, for the dating of these.

QN 6 E Well 7 at 2 m. Syrian sherds and red on black ware. M.B. and in the surroundings of the well between 1.20 and 1.60 we also find Syrian pottery fragments of milk bowl 1st style and red on black ware. It is confirmed that there is around 1.20 a Middle Bronze level. But it is not everywhere pure and unmixed.

Tomb 5 in QN 5D large and well preserved in the rock on the rock floor with 2 very large jars. Few sherds
