The area north of the stone, adjoinging the part of the trench 2A excavated last year, was taken dwon to a greater depth, and the stone cleaned to determine its possible significance.

head and waist, her fan, and two studs; part of a banquet frieze, with the middle of one serving woman, and the end of the couch. These places were not listed as individual finds.
