It is possible for earlier earth to have been brought from elsewhere, and filled in, but it is not likely to have come from far away, and in any case it seems to me extremely unlikely that three different kinds of earth would be brought in the LC III period, and all three be from early levels without later admixture. It is true that a few LC II sherds were found in stroseis 2 & 3, but these probably come from the late pithos cuttings which cut through them, and which were seen on investigation to be imperfectly cleared. Strosis 1, which did not come into contact with the pits, contains no late sherds. The S.E. pit (for pithos #P768), stops with a large flat stone, on which the pithos stood.
