On the same floor, 0 m 90 from there, Zone 5.16 E, pt topo 1372 at -0,885 bronze weight, complete (drawing) oxidised Inv. 17.05

Across the whole of the trench, the walls and floors are becoming clearer and especially in sectors 5.14 to 19.

In zone 5.17/5.18, the layer of Late Bronze with milk-bowl of the 13th c. contains several bronzes (tools) in two neighbouring rooms, south of the fine "Mycenaean" tomb of BM 1896.

Zone 5.18 E, we already reach the deep layer of the Middle Bronze, below the burnt strata of the Late Bronze, packed closely one upon another.
