The excavation of locus 3 was completed.  Five bowls (24 cm. in diameter, 7 cm. in depth) of terracotta fragments were recovered.  Eleven pottery sherds were found (9-impasto body, 2-impasto rim).  A fragment of bronze was found, along with some fragments of colbalt blue glass which were made a special find (#1).  Four fragments of bone were recovered.

The area directly under the tile layer was designated locus 4 .  The soil is brownish-yellow and slightly grainy.

Opening depths:

• NW corner = 176.8-E/49.3-S = 27.42 m. above absolute elevation
• SW corner = 176.4-E/52.0-S = 27.45 m. above absolute elevation
• SE corner = 180.0-E/52.2-S = 27.51 m. above absolute elevation
• NE corner = 180.0-E/49.3-S = 27.52 m. above absolute elevation

Additional Depth Measurements for Locus 4:

• 177-E/52-S = 27.45 m. above absolute elevation (estimated)
• 177-E/52.1-S = 27.45 m. above absolute elevation (estimated)

Photos were taken of the opening of locus 4

The glass fragments that were found were located at the transition point between locus 3 and locus 4.

The finishing of the excavation of locus 3 only marginally loweree the level of the trench.

The excavation of locus 4 was begun.  The trench was lowered approximately 5 cm.  Three bowls (24 cm. in diameter, 7 cm. in depth) of terracotta fragments were recovered.  Approximately a 1/4 lattle box of bone was found along with approximately a 1/4 latte box of pottery sherds.  There were three special finds (#2 and #3:  odd pieces of terracotta, #4:  bronze fragments forming a small shee).
