Spent the day clearing the floor dust on east up to edge of copper basin and examining the adjacent deposits. The left legs of chair (i) had to be left in place as the hind leg is under the basin and the fore leg is under inlays of stool (ii)(?).
Removed 153-159. Scraps of gold leaf from 147, etc. and inlays from canopy cover.
The next object of record is a stool (?)(ii) which stood on the higher rubbish west of chair (i) and sunk down on itself slightly to southeast after collapse of chair (i). The four legs are clearly distinguishable but the bars of the seat are not certainly identifiable.
