Work was completed in Tesoro Rect. 7 removing the S. wall.  The wall seemed to consist of medium sized stones built in uniform construction and giving the appearance of belonging to a single period of construction.  Mixed in among the stones of the wall was a small quantity of large pithos fragments including ome fragments of rims.  Several fine bucchero pochets wer found with heavy concentrations in a small area mixed in among the stones.  It was my general impression that most of the finer impressed ware and many of the ivory fragments, though mixed with the stones came from the lower portions of the wall.  The wall was cleared to a depth of 15-20 cm. below the stones but very littler pottery or other objects were found.  The majority of the finds occurred in sections 4-2 with very little coming from the eastern most sector which bonded into the N-S wall.
