Work continued in Agger 10. In the morning two workmen excavated in grids K-N 2 in the yellowish-brown soil stratum. At this level there are many more tile fragments and frieze placque (primarily seated figures), and sima fragments. Also some fine shards of painted ware, Ionic bowl and bucchero. The concentration of small bronze fragments continues in grid N-2. A few pieces of slag and possibly a piece of iron were also found here. There are no longer any large, dumped rocks in these grids; they seem to terminate along a N-S line between grids K-N 2 and K-N 3. (see profile p. -blank- )
Two other workmen worked in grids K-N 6-8 clearing the rocks. The soil here is still humus and contains many worn tile fragments.

nothin\' special to add... (editor's note)
In the afternoon two workmen continued excavating in grids K-N 0-1 at what seems to be the bottom of the Agger. They excavated a N-S line of stones running along grids K-N between grids 0-1. They cleaned out these rocks and then began excavating the topsoil in grids K-N B working east into grids K-N A. Between grids 0 and A the rocks appear scattered and are mixed with topsoil. This line of rocks as it now appears lies along the same N-S line as the western foundations of the upper building.
The other workmen continued excavating at the eastern end of the trench in grids K-N 5-6. Here there continued to be many worn tile fragments, a few pottery shards and some small, rounded stones.
