| Stratum: | East Alley I middle | |
| Notes: | I took four men, three to carry earth and one to dig, and dug up the space between Blegen’s wall, see pg. 2. and the wall to the east of it which I call the “Aisle wall”. The space was divided into 3 sections and each section’s sherds were preserved separately, to find out the character of this space. See drawing pg 16. The earth in this space appeared quite sandy and had some shells in it. In this respect it differs from the soil outside the walls to the west. [NB 84, p. 23 written by CWB]: We have cleared the south 2/3 of the alley between the Megaron House and the new house down to a level about with Megaron floor. Practically no finds here. Some LM III sherds. [James-Nakassis: this last entry seems to imply that Scott actually dug, but how much? Scott’s notes from page 29 imply 35 cm for the North section, Middle section, and 30 cm for the South section. These differ from the elevations of Blegen for this area (NB 84 p. 58), but as Rutter 1974: 25 points out, Scott was actually the trench supervisor] Tzonou-Herbst= See, however, further below, on p. 29, where Scott mentions that the South section had already gone down to 35 also on June 7.
