AREA A STRATUM D HOUSE A.VII
Three major phases were distinguished in the history of this part of the site.
D(1) Material excavated under the house floors contained the following sherds: [handwritten: ST 540] 80% plain sherds 71 [handwritten: Sh 492, 493, 495, 518] " " [handwritten: (sherds) throughout, often numbered] 12 Buchero, wheel-made bl. slip [handwritten: 29 listed as bowls] 5 Buchero, hand-made (Sh 494) [handwritten: 2 indeterminate] 6 "L.H.IIIB" (Sh 496) [handwritten: 2 bowls, ?] 1 "R.L.III" 40 White Slip II 1 White Slip I 43 Base Ring 31 Wash ware 32 Red Polished, etc. (Sh 491) 240 decorated sherds [handwritten: Sh 731 (crossmends)]
D(2) The use of the house is dated by material found in and on the accumulation and original floors, in the pits, and among the earth fallen from the second floor. Owing to the confusion in some of the most important rooms, it was not possible to make a consistent differentiation between these different phases of D(2), and it thus seems wiser to consider the material as a whole. The following vases were found:
L.C.III Painted: 3 bowls, curved, horizontal handles (P725, 726, 743) 1 bowl, curved, no handles (P727) 1 bowl, angular (P728) 2 Krater-amphorae (P729, 731) 1 Krater (P787) 1 strainer jug (P734)
Buchero, wheel-made: 1 jug (P745)
Plain ware: 3 jugs, handle to neck (P732, 737, 799) 1 jug, handle to rim (P736) 1 shoulder-amphora (P773) 2 pithoi (P777, 784) 2 pithos necks (P738, 739) 2 vats (P772, 811) 1 lamp (P735) 1 cooking pot (P800)
