No stone frame on other sides. Top is covered with loose sea pebbles and is practically level with top of Baetyl. Interior of the mound is of reddish earth and ashes. Some pebbles and a good many potsherds – mostly of rather fine fabric. Anast. is beginning to remove this mound. The hearth is S. of Baetyl roughly square in plan 1.35 N-S x 1.36 E-W.

[p. 46, 18 June 1916] In the pottery from the pebble paved mound north of the Baetyl in P we found a good many fragments of a late LM III bowl decorated with ducks (and other birds). One large sherd came from last year’s dig in same region (?). By rather patient search in the trays we finally managed to get many joins and have now nearly ¾ of the pot. We have all or part of 3 ducks. There were 4 but the fourth is missing. Tzonou-Herbst=Blegen 1921, p. 62, fig. 86, deep bowl decorated in the Close Style, now on disply in PG CP 201 [p. 47, 19 June 1916] After 4:30 PM I transferred Anastasios to P where he began sifting the earth dug out from the pebble-paved mound north of the Baetyl. We hope to recover a few more fragments of our duck pot which came from this place. He succeeded in finding one fair sized sherd of our pot and one or two very small. [p. 50, 20 June 1916] House P Anastasios finished sifting the earth from the pebble altar (?) this morning and found one or two more very small pieces from duck pot. | |
