Summary/Abstract: The most important strata excavated in the 2006 season were found in the western part of the northern sector of the House of Aion. Remains of two phases were uncovered: Late Roman destruction layer of early 5th century and another of early 1st century AD, which contains much Late Hellenistic material. The pottery from the later stratum included LRC small bowl form 1/9 of Hayes, a spatheion amphora and unusual African(?) crater. The earlier assemblage comprised Cypriot Sigillata form P22A, a lagynos and numerous stamped amphora handles.
