The most interesting series was found on floor II, where some typical pottery (Pl.XXVIII) was sealed under the debris resulting from the destruction of the building (Pl.XXVII, 3-5). Among this pottery we see two dominating wares : a. decorated LCIII ware, which is represented by the fine exported krater 162 on Pl. XXVIII, 1 and 2 fragments from bowls, 708 a-d on Pl. XXVIII, 3;

Handwritten: 3 Pl. / earthquake / III / plain / wheel-made / ... / 4 ... / burners / on floor V / hearth

b. plain wheel-made ware. In addition to these a type of bowl of plain wheel-made ware, [handwritten: ...] shape is also represented by a fragmentary example, 708 e on Pl. XXVIII, 3.

After the catastrophe, earthquake [handwritten: (earthquake)] room XIV was not re-used as such, as no later floor (I) was traced. The pottery found above floor II (Pl.XXIX) continued to be the same, i.e. decorated LCIII, Mycenaean IIIC: 1 (cf. 757 d on Pl. XXIX, 3) and, in addition, there were fragments of white slip II ware (757 a on the same Plate) and of a painted wheel-made jug (757 b on the same Plate).
