| Stratum: | Trench P IX | |
| Notes: | P IX 1.85-2.05. Some poor Urfirnis and one of which many pieces are preserved - good Urfirnis with incised decoration, a terracotta spindle whorl. [p. 227, 9 June 1915] In N. scarp of trench P, a curious bothros (?) appears. It is 2.00 below ground to top of bothros, which is 0.90 high (outside measurements) and ca. 0.70 in diam. Inside it is 0.80 high. Seems to be made of clay greenish in color av. ca. 0.03 thick on sides and 0.10 on bottom. Rests on a hard pavement of reddish clay. Inside is a good deal of wood ashes and coal and some pot sherds appear. These belong [p. 228] to P IX in level. I tried 2 photographs in the pit. Film E 3 & 4. The bothros has a distinct lip. In section looks like this [section drawing of bothros] Tzonou-Herbst= reproduced in Blegen 1921, page 76, figure 109.
