Trench VI - (see p. 85) To the North, the white floor (layer 4) rests on the limestone rock; in a hollow of the rock is set a jar; inside this jar, small miniature jug: Pt 17, depth: 130 cm.

The ash layer 3 contains on the one hand [illegible] of the Sub-Mycenaean pottery and [illegible] on the other hand, "close style" and "milk bowl" pottery. It therefore represents the transition from Late Bronze to Iron; end of L.B. III - beginning of Iron I - Date: 1225-1150 The same remark seems also to apply to the other points where this pottery has been encountered (e.g., Tr XXXV and XXXVI).

Trench XXXV - (see p. 88) South part, depth: 100 cm, layer 5: bronze point.
