stratum 3 was laid or disturbed in the Roman (2d AD?) period. The amphoriskos has not been identified by me into P 1616 published types. It may well be of "Late-preclassical" period. It has horizontal handles pressed against the shoulders in a flat ban showing spiral from wheel; body of pink running to light red clay, resembling [?fl. Rhodian], with clay-fine particles of mica; and traces of bands of red (?) one below the handles, 5 preserved above.

Ought to date Wall C?, as fill under its (outer) floor^*) See noting I would know as later than the classical period; two of an amphora of local ware, resembling Period I (cell?) There are under [illegible] 3 bits of casserole ware, including a lower part of a handle; a frag. of coarse Hellenistic ware, possibly of a lid?

3.) Conical flasks, with pushed-in mesomphalic-like undersides, spiral grooves round\base of thin long necks; local make? None in this set complete, but of them in "flask deposit", below p. 99, 106 (no. 7 being complete). The red clay has more or less white and other bits, and is sometimes very imperfectly fired.
