2-13 July 1990 ... A well in the courtyard (Room 8) of a Byzantine House of Period II. The well was covered by a large squared poros wellhead and a marble puteal (apparently neither inventoried). Within the well shaft, the stratified deposit produced two dumped filings of debris that resulted from two distinct destructions, and these were separated by a filling that had accumulated during the Byzantine period of use. A smaller amount of fill at the very bottom of the shaft gave evidence for an earlier period of use of latest Roman date (Hesp. 66 (1997), p. 528). |

| Well South of Soft Yellow Poros Foundation. Dumped filling of a collapsed well, that, due to hazardous conditions, could not be cleared below- 2.50m. The well was partly cut on the east side by a Byzantine ... Protogeometric-Early Geometric II, ca. 850 B.C. |
| Laura Gawlinski ... Well in courtyard of Early Building I, adjacent to wall of Room B. Tile lined; upper course in situ, lower two collapsed probably in antiquity. Letters inscribed on rims (eta, phi, omicron, theta). Medium ... First quarter of the 4th c. B.C ... The water table was never reached and there was no period of use fill, indicating that the well was abandoned during digging and never used. ... Well contained three main dumped fills: a slightly later fill perhaps for leveling after filling settled (Layer I and perhaps Layer II), a fill with ceramic and some stones (Layer III and perhaps Layer II), and a fill with large stones, tiles, and collapsed well lining (Layer IV).
Layer I 58.03-57.40m., softer brownish fill
Layer II 57.40-57.16m., sandier fill with streaks of charcoal
Layer III 57.16-56.24m, similar to Layer II, increase of stones and tiles
Layer III/IV 56.24-56.07m., transition between fill of Layer III and Layer IV
Layer IV 56.07-54.94m., fill primarily consisting of large stones, tiles, and collapsed well lining (little soil or ceramic) |

It is described as a black patch of earth with sherds, ... 350-250 B.C ... Strosis II, on which the pyre rested, covered the walls of Room A, demonstrating that the pyre postdates a change of plan or abandonment of this part of the building, other parts of which survived to the Late Hellenistic period. |
