Notebook of Roger Kuss, Enkomi excavations, 11th seasonR. Kuss

summary of observations from 29 Sept to 4 Oct.

observations restricted to the architectural plan of the owing to the narrowness of the area, which reaches 8^m only over half its length, 4^m elsewhere, and owing to the very numerous destructions of walls (f. cland.) the facade wall on the N.S. street is visible only by its traces on the rock, and this part must have served as a quarry. an important building is situated between the two E.W. streets but the rising rock telescopes between them the two first floors - 110 and - 090 (note usual junction of the - 1.10 with the parts in fine masonry) at pt 212, an excavated tomb offers a rare example of a wall used within the tomb itself, without constructional connection with the exterior. the northern part comprises two architectural phases relating to the same floor - 1.15, with no idea of destruction whatsoever; it is, I think, a useful division in plan without bearing on the construction scheme. to the south, central part, large cisterns which would indicate the service part of an important installation. to the south, W and N outline of a building defined by its material as being cultic; trace of a plan different at floor level. the last floor - 0,65 is practically absorbed by the level present which destroys it.
