One notes there a first floor of lime at 0.60, beneath a layer of ash (Pt. 4), with a broken stone trough at 0.50 (Pt.3); on this floor there was a fragment of lamp stand and a handle with rectangular profile and black decoration on white slip.

Next comes a layer of small grey pebbles and ochre burnt earth, between 0.70 and 1.00 m.; with pottery of the beginning of Iron I: "dark on white slip", late "milk bowl", krater with flat rim and decorated with spirals ("Myc. III C 1"), of the beginning of the XII9 c.

Lower down, between 1 m. and 1.50, one meets with tuyères and an engraved bone plaque (Pt. 30, 1.55), [handwritten: besides] mixed material: Late Bronze III: "milk bowl", hard hand-made pottery, Mycenaean krater with red decoration; Late Bronze I: painted sherd brown with geometric motif, very elongated handle at the rim of a cup, bichrome sherd with cream base of "Union Jack" type; _Bronze Middle III_: ladle handle in greenish pottery with black bands, "red on black", "red on red", bichrome sherd, burnished lamp, pottery painted with parallel bands brown red, or black on greenish ground with wavy bands.

B/ Private houses in the southern part. Closer to the East-West road, one meets in the part eastern of the area, to the south of a long East-West wall, which separates them from the workshops, private houses, of which a small portion has been cleared.

1/ Room at the North-East corner of the area. To the North of Pt. 63, there is a small hall in the shape of a squarewith a door towards the East. One recognises there two floors;

On the upper floor, at 0.60, were piled jars for storage with ogival base, marked shoulder with two shoulder handles (Pt. 71); one also found there a "base ring" jug late (Pt. 72) and a small stone dish.

On the lower floor, at 1 m. depth, there were two unperforated stone discs, an arrowhead with tang and a long rod ending in a swollen and pointed head, of bronze.
