Tuesday 4 December 1962Sky slightly overcast – The excavation continues simultaneously on trench 1.25 / 1.27 (clearing with knife and small picks, of protomes of bulls and sherds on the floors) and on areas 2.25 / 2.27, where in 2.25, a white area (1st floor ?) already appears at the very shallow depth of 0m 20.

In the North Temple trench, the excavation is being completed under the careful supervision of Jacques Lagarce, who analyses the stratigraphy there and selects the pottery, to be classified and studied on the following days, with sorting for temporary export.
