Work continued as loose soil and fill were cleared away from the doorway.  Heavy carbon deposits could be seen close to the doorway.

After the fallen earth, etc., had been removed from the doorway, excavation started in section B and a layer c. 20 cm in thickness was removed.  A number of pithos fragments and heavy carbon deposits were encountered.

Among the pithos fragments was the base part of a large vase with fat body and a small narrow foot.
