some Levanto-Mycenean vessels continued to be in use in the twelfth century cannot be excluded.

The next floor (IV), which is at level 12.45, was that which followed the conflagration and the subsequent clearance and repair of the building with minor alterations of plan. The most characteristic [handwritten: Buchero on floor IV] of the pottery on this floor is the lower part of an open bowl (707 (Pl.XXVII, 3) of the ware called by Sjöqvist Sub-Mycenean (1) by Gjerstad debased Levanto- Helladic (2) and by Furumark (3) decorated IIIC ware. I have used in my description Furumark's term, which though somewhat general can give rise to no misunderstandings. The type of bowl represented by 707 is a late survival of similar late Levanto-Mycenean IIIB type and we shall see that it continued in use in the upper layers of our building together with other forms of vessel in the same ware. It also occurs in tomb 6 of the first French excavations at /Enkomi
