1°/ . Iron Age pottery, with bowls of the "wavy lines" type painted decoration in black on greyish or greenish t.c.; handles still within the Sub-Mycenaean tradition.

3°/ . Mycenaean and Cypriot pottery of the Late Bronze 2 and 3; "Base ring", "leather ware", milk bowl, good workmanship; fragments of stirrup jars, of rhyton?, of small kraters and similar vessels; Mycenaean handle of large amphora painted in lustrous blackish ( temporary export ).
