Hellenistic pottery, and the older one
Hellenistic wares and perhaps Iron Age
material. A rounded wall made of small
stones set off a limited area in the corner of
the room. It was connected with both these
layers. At the bottom of the pit, a uniform
surface of irregular blocks was discovered
under the layer containing Hellenistic and
presumably Iron-Age material. The
uncovered surface is too small to determine
the nature of the find.

ROOMS E.XVIII-E.XIX
Rooms E.XVIII-E.XIX lining the east side
of street E.XXII started being excavated
this year (Fig. 5; cf. Fig. 1). The stone
debris, lying 1.5 m deep, was removed
from the eastern end of the rooms for a
section about 9-00 m long. A very well
preserved wall of dressed blocks appeared
from under the debris. It borders the two
rooms on the east. Further work is planned
in the next season.
