| Stratum: | Trench S III, south extension | |
| Notes: | We have struck so many walls and stones that it becomes impossible for us to proceed deeper without destroying something. So I am stopping here and extending E end of S to south hoping for a better chance to go deep here. There are new lots of S I, S II, S III, S IV from this new section. [James-Nakassis: The elevations for the south extension are taken from those of the main section of trench S (so we are assuming that he is digging the same levels). Note that this assumption is corroborated by the fact that the bottom of S IV south extension is 1.25 m below ground level, as is the bottom of S IV in the main section (see B80 and B90).] [This pottery is probably from both NB 81 B 80 and NB 81 B 90] [p. 368] S III 0.65-0.95 (2 trays) Mycenaean LM III Painted linear etc. 48 sherds (2 thrush’s egg seem earlier) [MN of these 48: LM III 29, LM II ca. 19, also 1 Light on dark] Painted solid black ca. 12 sherds Painted solid red ca. 28 sherds [MN: note these →] Red, red buff, buff and greenish yellow plain ca. 65 sherds Coarse nondescript 16 sherds Black polished 3 sherds Minyan 12 sherds (6 dark incl. one incised and 6 light) [p. 369] Mattmalerei 7 sherds at least 3 are black on buff incl. 1 large rim 2 " " " greenish yellow incl. 1 round handle 1 is purple-black on yellow buff 1 is black and red-black on buff.
