Tzonou-Herbst=This section from the date to this point written in purple pencil.
Many pieces of good Mycenaean pottery were found. Most of the pieces seem to belong to LM II.
[NB 84, p. 55, 23 June 1916, written by CWB]:
The most interesting trench today is in the alley between L and M where we are going down to a considerable depth. In the top layers LM III of late sort is characteristic. At depth of ca 0.75 there begin to be a good many LM II sherds and at 1.00 m LM I seems to be predominant. We got a good many fine sherds – especially fragments of a pot with octopods separated by a lily design (?) We have both handles and numerous chunks of this.

[NB 84, p. 58, 24 June 1916, written by CWB]:
There seems to be a floor level at 0.85 or 0.90 (This corresponds to 0.80 in Trench L of last year) Below this floor are great masses of sherds.
