A. Deposit antedating the construction of House E. [handwritten: V VII] was found in two caves under the house, which were filled in when or before the house was built.

1) E.VII.5, cave. The sherds were: [handwritten: V.6] 98% plain, L.C.I-II [handwritten: Cypr-Myc.(?)] 1 sherds L.H.III 2 L.H.III, coarse temper [handwritten: Sh 715 not checked] 1 Painted [handwritten: M.P.(?)] 3 White Slip II 3 White Slip I (joins) 5 Base Ring 1 Wash 17 decorated sherds Burnished Slip Bamboula ware [handwritten: + 1 Bl.slip buccheró]

Handwritten: In addition 2 bowls with Pain Tilted (1/2; 2/2) with 4 PWM I (?) + 98 PWM II; coarse handmade ware, cooking pithoi (?) coarse handmade ware.

2) E.VII.10, cave.

B. None of the floors of house [handwritten: V VII] has been cut through. In at least E.VII.9 [handwritten: V.8] there is evidence of two superimposed floors. The interval between these two [handwritten: V.3] is perhaps represented by the accumulation in E.VII.1 and 8; in E.VII.2 at [handwritten: V.3] least, the threshold was rebuilt at the level of the accumulation. The deep layer of burnt debris in E.VII.11 perhaps covers the period of both floors
