| Stratum: | Trench I, G IV | |
| Notes: | G IV This from 0.80-1.00 below ground. The hearth on p. 203 is 0.80 below ground. A circle of small ["stones" crossed out] mudbricks around a little sinking 0.13 deep 0.50 in diam. from outside edge. Inside diam. ca. 0.38. Only 4 or 5 pieces of mudbrick preserved on one side. Rest broken away probably by man with pick. These bricks not really bricks but just shaped out of clay. Bottom of cavity made of pebbles and bits of potsherds packed in clay. No trace of burning. Level with top is a kind of floor of beaten earth somewhat resembling clay of which the hearth is made and above floor in west side of trench is a thin black layer ca. 0.02 thick. A few pebbles in the clay (cf. bothros of Orchomenos says Wace) The pottery in G IV is chiefly Urfirnis but coarse.
