before the entire trench was covered, so sand recovered when the floor was exposed this year was placed over meters P-W, 74-82.  Sand brought up to the site this year was placed over the unfired cover tiles in S-W, 70-73.  The sand was ~5 cm thick over these tiles, compared to the ~2-3 cm of sand over the rest of the trench.

Approximately 2-3 cm of soil from this year's dump area was spread over the sand to give a covering of ~5 cm above the floor.  The covering was slightly deeper over areas with tiles still exposed.  The pithos and tile piles were covered with soil from the soil dump.  T-25 1982 discard pottery was buried in T-23 1980.

This concludes excavation on Poggio Civitate this season.
