facilitated by a paved walk running across the court, at a level
apparently higher that the original surface (which has not been
reached as yet). The fill in the courtyard and its dependencies
yielded practically no finds except for a few sherds and coins,
which point to the 8th/9th century as the period when the area was
generally abandoned, a chronology established already some years
ago. At that point two lime kilns were installed in the ruins, and
their presence explains the poor preservation of the remains.
