containerto open half of what remains of the temoins of the white floor dating from the fine architecture (ashlar masonry) to look for other datable sherds. In the sector of de Contenson, sector N, I have a patch of white floor opened apparently of the same period (pt. 480. ) It yields in the body of the floor only sherds of Late Bronze (base ring). And in the interior of the jar set into the floor with the opening at its level & stone grinder beside it, are removed 2 pointed scraped bottles and in the fill also Late Bronze.
