VI-VII Detailed sherd lists for these periods have not been compiled. They will be discussed at a later date when the study of the stratification at the sanctuary of Apollo Hylates and on the acropolis of Kourion will have made the chronology of the pottery clearer. The preliminary investigation made in the field indicates that the pottery of stratum VI is Hellenistic, that of stratum VII Roman of the first or second century A.D.
