The top of the block 15 consisted mainly of stones and tile, it was not until further down that the pottery began to appear. We took two samples of chemical analysis one from just under the top of the block and the other from the bottom. Several murex appeared again close to the bottom of the block. In the west side of the cistern there were not (as we were approaching the bottom of block) any finds, only soil. 3 green buckets were used for collecting soil samples and 3 black ones; same procedure as with the samples from the previous blocks. From the bottom of the block to the top of the cistern measured with the folding rule=ca.190 cm that means that the block 15 was approximately 22 cm in depth. As the finds keep appearing we continue.
