… in the third stage (floors I-II) we are struck by the overwhelming quantities of the Mycenean IIIC:1-2 "wavy line" style which dominates the picture. Thus the evolution is similar to that in room XIV but with the difference that the third or latest stage in the latter room lacked the 'wavy line' pottery. This is perhaps to be explained by the fact that room XIV was not re-occupied after the destruction on floor II, for we also see that in the other rooms to be examined presently the latest floors yielded this pottery in abundance.

Room X. (Pl.XXXVII - XLIV).

This is the room in the uppermost level of which the bronze statue of the horned god was found, but which originally formed part of a single unit with the adjoining room IX, occupying the southward projection of the central part of the Main Building. The stratigraphical evidence in this room is rather complicated but as we shall see presently it does not conflict with the chronological scheme shown by the previous rooms.
