In the region of Pts 504, 506, 507, one finds below the floor at 1m25/1m30 a yellowish sandy layer that is almost sterile (Tr West sector 22)

Trench West sector 26: [illegible] the well Pt 502 is associated with a fine white floor at 0m 75 - North of Pt 502, this floor is cut and one meets a large hole filled with grey ashy earth - In this ashy earth, at 1m 30, sherds of Sub-Mycenaean style - earlier than the "wavy line" style - It is difficult to know whether they are in place, since some Middle Bronze sherds are also present; these perhaps come from an old excavation.
