| Description | Stratum III B is verified in the West Court of the Palace. Walls and floors were found that belonged to a complex, multi-phase building. Also House A from the Central Court, that was covered by a clay collapse debris (pisé), belonged to this phase. Pottery: dominant is the "rippled decoration", especially on the rim of bi-conical bowls. |
