| Stratum: | Trench P I | |
| Notes: | Ca. 40 m to the west we are beginning a new trench running N and S in a section ca. 5.00 long. North of this in the edge of the bluff a certain amount of stratification is clearly distinguishable. Houses of 3 periods one above the other as indicated by walls, disintegrated mudbrick, and potsherds can be made out. Eventually we shall carry the trench on to this point. The new section of the trench I call "P." P I 0.00-0.25 deep. Rather coarse pottery. Partly Greek and partly Late Mycenaean. Perhaps a Greek tomb rifled near here. At 0.30 is a floor stratum. This removed but level marked by a flat stone - perhaps for column? [p. 358] P I-II, House P, NE chamber around hearth, pottery P I-II 0.00-0.50 includes all pots, etc from House P. 11trays Mycenaean LM III great quantity Whole pots or parts of pots.

These LM III pots and sherds are all of the latest Mycen. period apparently. Designs are all rather poor and {thereby} conventional. Usually dec consists merely in pairs of parallel bands running around pot. Sometimes more decoration - which is regularly on upper part of vase alone. This is often in panels. Conventional poor spirals, etc. nautilus, sea rocks (?) etc.] Tzonou-Herbst= The note on the pottery is not in CWB’s handwriting, is it Wace? | |
