Began work with 4 men. Began by digging a trench eastward from the center partition wall of the "Megaron" house. Named the trench "trench q connecting wall". We dig eastward at an average depth of 35 cm. for a distance of 9.50 meters when we came upon a wall going northward. Found many potsherds, a piece of bronze and a piece of flint these last two looked like pieces of knife blades. We dug a trench following the wall northward. After following the wall for about a meter we came upon traces of ashes on the west side of the wall. In this same place we found a stone spindle whorl and a metal pin. Much fewer potsherds were found in trench going north than in trench of connecting wall.
