Conclusions - In the North and centre of sounding VI, occupation begins at the beginning of the Late Bronze; then the acme of the Mycenaean and then the Final Mycenaean are well represented. The level of the beginning of the Iron Age I is particularly well preserved with its architecture and its varied furnishings. In the South, apart from a few isolated sherds, only the last period is represented in a hole to the S.W.; elsewhere, one meets the road. Over the whole surface of the sounding, the end of Iron I is met with above, with the sole addition of a medieval sherd.
