walls) was added to the house on the west; this narrow room was
connected structurally with a bathroom located on the upper floor -
the only evidence uncovered to suggest that the house had been
storied - and a low bench on top of which ashes were discovered.
Pottery found in the vicinity of the walls represents early ware:
small bowls of Red Ware with painted decoration in the form of
a horizontal cream-colored geometric ornament on a black
background; similar sherds had been found in the fill of the
platform located to the west of the fortifications. The ware can be
dated provisionally to the early 6th century.
