They had been covered by a flat stone ( found in Λ1; Κ2; Ι7; Ι9), which shows traces of burning. Quite certainly they are nothing other than a forerunner of the present-day βούφες in Cyprus, which look exactly the same, and are used for storing grain. At the bottom a fire is made, which, when ἡ βούφα is or dentally heated through, is removed. The bottom is swept carefully, the grain is poured in, after which the whole is sealed. In this way grain can keep for years. - Βούφες are very common in this district and they explain here the numerous early (M.C.) sherds on the surface.
