Cartones pottery 5

We extend the cut west in grids D-E 37-35 in hope of finding more of the Lakonian (?) material found Friday (supra pp. 229 - 30 , #7, 9, 11).  The light, yellowish grey-brown (tan) soil has patches of a harder, sandy, yellow material, and yields a good deal of tile, including a frieze plaque fragment (#5, 9).  Tiny bits of carbon and terracotta and some chunks of a hard, white material also occur.  Among the pottery (2+ cartons) some bucchero, fine grey and orange ware and fragments of fine painted buff ware emerge, including fragments of "ionic bowls."  The last group is most frequent early, in 37 and eastern 36; then impasto becomes even more predominant, though bucchero continues.  Scant bronze slag, some bone (#6), a fragment of bronze (#2) and one of copper (#11).  Note also the terracotta ear of a statue (#12).  Along the north edge a fairly even, somewhat oblique scarp of bedrock is visible.

Also begin drawing the stratigraphic profile of the east balk.

We also excavate southward in M-P 38-39.  Heavy burn layer is still present near the bottom of the cut.  However, by the south end of P it is less apparent, displaced upward in places by a fine clayey soil veined blue and yellow or disappearing in places, perhaps falling below the floor of the cut.  Pottery is frequent but declines in quantity somewhat after M.  Tile too is abundant, but less so south of mid N.  N does yield a large, unusual terracotta fragment (#17).  Bronze slag and ivory (#16) are scant.  Among the pottery: a number of fineware sherds from imported, black glazed cups and much bucchero.
