Description

SMR note 04/09/2012: find catalogue from 1969 excavation report not entered onto SMR {1} Large scale excavations were carried out by the Ministry of Public Building and Works in September - October 1969. The excavation was to record the bath house and to establish the full extent of the buildings on site. However, the latter aim was not fully achieved as the spread of buildings was wider than anticipated. Four areas were excavated.
