Floor III is notable for the discovery on it of three impressive deposits of bowls of wheel-made base-ring type (Pl. XIX, XX), a few specimens of are which/illustrated on Pls. XLIII, 5-7; XXXVII, 5. Among these bowls was an example (338 on Plate XLIII, 7) which is of Mycenean IIIC: 1 type (c.f. Furumark, Analysis, Fig. 15, type 295) and is chronologically valuable. But apart from this bowl we collected a few fragments of bowls which are decorated with ornaments in the "close style" (701 c on Pl. XLIII, 4) or with wavy lines (701 d-f on the same Plate). These are also of great value chronologically as they connect the three piles of bowls, which are of traditional Cypriot shape, with twelfth century Mycenean styles such as have been found in other rooms (1).
Among the bowls of one of the deposits was an alabaster jug with its limestone lid nearby (288 on Pl. XLIII, 1) which is of Egyptian type but probably introduced
