The earth layers are not particularly complicatedLayers

In rooms 1 and 3, beneath the black surface layer, follows a stratum of light brown earth containing quantities of roof-tile fragments and ἀγαλματοπετρες. Sparse other pottery is also found. In room 2 there is in addition, close to the floor, a thin ash layer in the middle of the room. In this layer the bronze nails no. 8 were found. Otherwise all finds come from the light brown middle level. It should perhaps be added that in room 2 a pit was found (see the section). It did not, however, go down to the bottom. Perhaps this is where Michali's relative found his priest with long beard.
