During the morning, the stratigraphy in casemate 1343 is becoming clearer, although the ceramic material remains rather undifferentiated, but in a homogeneous way, Late Cypriote Iron I. We thus manage to identify 3 strata • the first corresponding to the most recent level, i.e. the vast stone packing or blocking paving - • the second, marked by a bed or mattress of black ashes (to be compared with level II burnt in the North trench (W.J.) and notably with II of the Sounding at VII strata carried out north of hearth I). • the third, marked by a new paving ? or stone packing, dating from the Final Bronze (Late Cypriot III)
