At 2.25 we have struck what Aleko declares to be rock. It seems very flat and even. To me it looks a little like a good pavement tho part of it seems to consist of rock (cf. page 70)

Sketch of rock and pavement in J XII
(grave ?)
[sketch]
The rock (soft and sandy) is carefully levelled out. A section 0.65 wide seems cut out and is filled up with smallish stones bringing it up to same level as flat cut rock. The sides of this section are quite straight and artificial. The section extends ca. 1.60 N and S right across our trench.
East of this paved section (which may be cover on top of a grave?) are 3 holes in the rock not very deep. North one ca. 0.25 middle one less. South one perhaps more. In the south one (labelled (S)) we found a number of Urfirnis sherds part of a greenish typical Urf. bowl and some with good black paint. All these in the hole – below level of cut rock – some just level with top of hole.
Beyond these holes to E. the rock is cut to a deeper level. This deeper level begins ca. 1.00 m east of stone paved section.
Aleko cleaned and swept up the place in the evening.
