The gorgon antefixes are very heavy in 35G and 36H. They seem to have been gathered and dumped. The dike, as excavated, shows essentially one stratum. The surface soil, a humous, rests directly on the debris layer of the sacntuary. The "pavement" oto the north of the sancutary continues north and appears to fall off within grid G. This line is represented by - - - - - . We will not excavate under this layer.

Above the tile (60-70 cm below the surface of the ground) were many fragmentary tiles, frieze plaques, and gorgon fragments.
