The cut begun yesterday in D-E/68-70 was completed to a deoth of ca. 60-65cm.  The soil was dark brown in color and contained some yellow, disintegrated plaster.  A large amount of mixed pottery (2 boxes) and bone (1 box) was again discovered.  One quarter cassetta of worn tile was also found.

The protective plastic in Y/68-70 was uncovered and rolled back in order to determine the proximity of the edge of the floor to the trench bulk in D/68-70.  The poorly preserved floor terminated ca. 5-10cm from the trench bulk.  The surface of the floor was swept and photographs were taken for documentation.

Work was also begun in shaving down the trench bulk in preparation for a sectional drawing.  The small
