the pottery associated with Pts 210 and 211 seems to belong to Iron I: concentric black decoration, "bucchero". A late Mycenaean sherd not can be attributed with certainty to this floor, because ( "wavy lines" ) it would be from the beginning of Iron I.

2nd trench: In the thickness of floor II (layer 6), not a single sherd.

Pt 212: tomb formerly excavated to the south of the East-West road, the most to the north; in the spoil, a few objects: sherds, ivory discs, gold sheet, bronze.

4/10/58 In the region of Pt 207, north of the trench, the stratigraphy is more complete than elsewhere (see p. 20): 120-140 cm: ashy earth: Layer 7 140-142 cm: bed of white batière, floor III Layer 8

Pt 213: figurine of a dove in white pottery on floor III, in the region of Pt 207; depth: 1.40. the associated pottery seems pure RB: fragments of "elongated bottle" "base ring".
