Conclusions -
Above a Mycenaean layer, one meets a rich level of the beginning of the Iron Age, with to the N.E. a floor and a substantial wall, and to the S.W. a tomb. There are, no doubt, on the surface remains of the end of Iron I.

Layer 1: Pottery Iron I initial phase: bowl with flaring rim and double line painted on the inside of the rim; late "bucchero"; bowl with convex rim; bowl with flattened rim with grooves on its outside.
Conclusions -
An installation with a well of the fine Mycenaean period is succeeded by a layer of the end of the Late Bronze, with traces of hearths or of fire- ; then a floor and the corresponding use layer of the very beginning of the Iron Age; there thus does not seem to have been any interruption in the occupation of this sector.
