above which I find pottery of rather late appearance sub-Mycenaean. The ash layer is at 0,50 - 0,70 c. Around 8-9 we have some traces of sub-Mycenaean pottery, perhaps therefore also from the fire that put an end to the 2nd town Mycenaean. (Just as we have not far from the treasure, traces of a fire no doubt earlier, of the 14th c.) But if traces of fire appear clearly in places in this area, it must be admitted that they are not very extensive.

QN 9 0,5m pieces of rough ware whiteish, of sub-Mycenaean appearance But from 1 m. barning ware and Cypriot bowls.

QN 10 Around 1 m. fine barning ware, and fine pieces of Middle Bronze: Syrian import and red on black or red on red.

QN 11 The rock is close, as in QN 12 where it sometimes reaches 0,20 depth. Many Cypriot bowls, and barning ware. A little Mycenaean.
