Stratum:   Trench L II, enlargement
Notes:   (L) At 6:30 I began an enlargement of L to the east and south in order to carry it down to rock and learn more about the Urfirnis wall etc appearing in the East Alley.
Tzonou-Herbst=For Urfirnis wall=EH wall see above NB84, P78, East Alley XIX.
We are obliged to cut thru the floor of east side of Megaron of L.
I measure depths from semadi cut in stone on east wall of L above the trench. This mark is 0.20 below ground level so I add 0.20 in every case to measurements of depth.
[James-Nakassis: semadi is presumably Blegen’s Anglicization of the Greek word meaning "mark."]
Tzonou-Herbst=Blegen provides us here with a measurement from an existing block on the east wall of L to his, lost for us, ground level, and so we may be able to reconstruct his ground level, from which he takes almost all of his depth measurements.
No L I
L II 0.20-0.40
