It seems certain that the region cut by trench <u>XVI</u>, as well as that cut by Trench <u>XIV</u>, was filled in (levelled) purposely, and in a short period of time. It is filled in successive layers, showing that it was filled from the N-W, the earth being dumped from above (near the present level of the top ground. It was dumped in big loads, and one so soon after the other that the lower one did not settle before the next was piled on to it. /of solid earth\

There was only a very thin layer (in Trench <u>XVI</u>) over the bed-rock. No instructive sherds were found in it. It is probably middle-late geometric, as in trench <u>XIV</u>.

All of the evidence available indicates that this region was levelled off in the early part of the 2nd century A.D.
