vessels were packed — a mastoid form Jehasse 43C^ and
a bowl with inturned rim, dated to the L' half of the 2"^ century
A.D. The fill of the pit contains mostly Late Hellenistic pottery:
ESA forms 4, 22, thin-walled-ware sherds of most probably
Etrurian production,^ Colour Coated Imported Ware A^ with
a few fragments of the 1^-2"^ century A.D.: CS form P40(?) and
probably Tripolitanian amphorae. In a clayey layer directly on
bedrock Cypriot Colour Coated Ware sherds dating to the transition
from the 3"* to the 2"^ century B.C. were found.
West of the early walls, between a series of floors at
75-100 cm, pottery dating to the T' century A.D. occurs:
CS forms P28 and P37,^ sherds of Knidian cups (called earlier
Koan), fragments of Red Slip jugs.^ Under this series sherds
dated to the turn of the 1^ century B.C. appear, pieces of Italian
lamps of the beginning of the L' century A.D., CS fragments of
form P20, ESA forms 3 and 23 of varieties produced around the
mid L' century B.Cr° The lower layers preserve traces of sand
accumulation, probably induced by a neighbouring cistern in the
northwestern trench corner. Sand settled on floor surfaces of the
second, deeper situated series. The topmost of this series is situated
at 120 cm, while the bottommost at 140 cm. A part of the well
