From square Ζ 1 – Ι 1 it has already been established that there is a cement floor at a level of 2,05, bounded by walls c. 0,50 m broad. These walls extend downward to a depth of in Ε 1 2,25 and in Ι 1 2,40 and rest on a compact layer of pottery This pottery layer is thus a terminus ante quem as far as the cement floor building is concerned The sherds in the stone packing above the floor should constitute – these too a fairly certain terminus post. With the exception of a previously described piece of wall between Δ 1 and Ε 1, this cement floor building is the only architecture that has been found. The Βούρvorna are something quite different. The cement floor is begun to be excavated Its walls are followed. In this connection there is found immediately outside the wall in Ε 1:
