In the concrete of the path, we have said pure Middle Bronze pottery. [illegible] I note also in this area between 0 m 50 and 1,00 numerous sherds of Syrian import, at a level higher than that of the 1st floor in this area. This shows to what extent the levels are telescoped in this area, which on the whole remains early, despite some appearances of later pottery. I make a selection of sherds for the inventory.

I note in this sector, pieces Mycenaean of rather poor workmanship between 0,50 and 1,00 but which occur together with Cypriot bowls and fragments with painted bands XIVth c. A banded handle also, but painted: this pottery is therefore not so late and it must be a question of imitation local, fairly early (perhaps XIVth c.) of the imported Mycenaean.
