D-L/77 was cleared of grass and plants in preparation for a topsoil cut, which began in meters H-I/77.  The peninsula of land in I/78-81 will remain in place until a section profile is drawin in J/78-79.  Topsoil will not

K/78-79 and J/79 continue to be cleaned down with trowels.  Tile and pithos fragments lie in a plaster-rich soil that includes lots of carbonized material.  Relatively little pottery was found - 1/10 of a latte box.  A few bone fragments were found.  Two pieces of bronze.

The tree in H/78 was blown down by a strong wind - nothing and no one was hurt.  The rock and tile pack in G-I/80-84 will be left in place.  G-I/78-79 will be taken down.

P.M.

The stump of the tree was cleaned and produced only a few tile fragments.

Topsoil was removed from D-G/77.  Very little tile and no pottery was found.

G-I was cleaned down particularly where the tree used to be.  The day's work in this area produced one cassetta of tile.  Less than 1/2 a latte box of pottery was found by day's end.
