Tomb 2 and Pit #4 represent the Bronze Age level which is, as usual on the Bamboula site, at or near bedrock. The [handwritten: of] red[handwritten: d] earth [handwritten: at A] appears also to belong with this period. There was then probably a disuse of the site until the middle of the Geometric period with which the walls seem to be associated. Sherds over Tomb 2 were the following:

ca. 80% coarse 1 sherd Late Roman 2 " Greek black 2 " Bl-on-Red 17 " WhP 1 " PrWhP 2 " LC III Dec. 1 " BSB 1 " H-m buccherо 2 " Myc.III 1 " Myc.III coarse 10 " WS II (?) 19 " BR 5 " RP

This distribution indicates clearly enough that the area belonged to habitation levels of both Bronze and Iron Ages.
