Wednesday 28 Nov. 1962_ Fine, sunny.

Morning search for the bathtub cleared in 1959 to the East of House 18. It was removed and transported to the Nicosia Museum. To be inventoried.

The 1st floor visible from the surface and which, as a result of this is the last of Enkomi - Alasia, according to the pottery is protogeometric, i.e. more recent (Xe?) than we thought. This later period to to the wavy line pottery period (beginning of Iron) was not known at Alasia until now. — The 2nd or second-to-last floor is also still protogeometric, the 3rd floor: we do not yet know exactly: protog. or Iron I.

In the area facing the idols 1961 and 1962 bucrania and ox horns emerge on the 1st floor. As well as vessels.
