| Stratum: | Trench I, C III | |
| Notes: | Level III C In this section we have found a real wall of small stones. It goes across the trench spreading out considerably towards the NE. [left column] Below this wall (i.e. to SE) there is very little pottery and the ground begins to look near stereo. Above the wall (inside) the ground goes deeper and we find a good many sherds - chiefly Urfirnis. [right column] We have gone down ca. 0.75 in this section (above wall). A terracotta loomweight found here. Quite a number of bottoms of Urfirnis pots of typical shape. [between right and left columns, top plan of wall referred to] Along with these Urfirnis sherds are others of somewhat larger and coarser pots which were plain -- no firniss. Made of same sort of clay as Urfirnis pots. Also fragments of coarse large cookpots burned black on bottom. [p. 343] C III 0.50-0.75 A good many coarse sherds of cooking pots blackened by fire. Some plain; some decorated by row of wedge-shaped incisions along rim. Some by raised and incised band. 50 or 60 sherds. Plain black Urfirnis is characteristic. Bottoms of 5 pots. (Some perhaps Schnabelkannen?). Ca. 20 other sherds incl. one horizontal handle. 1 red piece.
