In the northern part of this East area of the W Gate of the City, at 0 m 60 from depth, pt. top. 1444, uncovered of a bronze rod, probably a bracelet, judging by the shape of the curve. No trace of decoration.

Drawing: open ring or bracelet

Not far from there, find of a fragment of blade in iron, very oxidised, but excellent confirmation, if any were needed, that we are dealing with a layer of Late Iron I Cypriot.

In the West Trench, near the modern ring road, extra-muros, we went down into the layer of brown konnos (sterile mud) for a good forty centimetres. Nothing else but a few sherds red, atypical, of apparently Late Classical appearance. In the town, Jacques Lagarce continues his latest research (fruitful in pottery) in pt 28 (well) and Iron I tomb (113)
