| Stratum: | Trench R I | |
| Notes: | This afternoon we began a new section on the edge of the bluff north of P. I call this "R." It runs E-W but we shall also dig south towards P. [p. 223, 7 June 1916] In R we have dug down 0-0.40 as R I. At west of trench a cross wall runs N and S. In this wall there seems to be a door. There is a stone in the wall which has a rounded cut hole for the door pivot. This comes at a point where the wall drops ca. 0.10 m like this [sketch of wall drop with pivot hole] East of this door and at the same level we are finding a colossal worked stone threshold. It is for a door opening north. There is a hole for pivot at east end of threshold. The stone is 1.74 long : width of door. As yet we have no wall to go with it. [p. 225] R I Two baskets, 0.00-0.40 deep along edge of bluff and in south extension. Chiefly Mycenaean. [p. 366] Trench R near N edge of bluff. R I 0.00-0.40 Mycenaean LM III.
