A partial Latin square of order \(n\), \(\text{PLS}(n)\), is an \(n\times n\) array whose cells are either empty, or contain an entry of \(N=\{1,2,\dots ,n\}\) such that each element occurs in at most one cell in each row and each column. A \(\text{PLS}(n)\) is completable if the empty cells can be filled with symbols of \(N\) such that a Latin square of order \(n\) results. A \(\text{PLS}(n)\) is premature if it is not completable but removing any of its entries results in a completable \(\text{PLS}(n)\). The spectrum of a premature \(\text{PLS}(n)\) is a set \(P(n)=\{t\mid \text{there exists a premature }\text{PLS}(n)\text{ with exactly }t\text{ nonempty cells}\}\). The results of the paper give several properties of spectra of premature PLSs and constructions of premature PLSs.
