Summary/Abstract: In excavation season 2011 works were carried out at the monastic refuse dump in sector B of the site. The deposits, dated to the 6th–7th centuries, were cut by a trench for a later, subterranean mud-brick structure. The intact strata yielded an extensive array of finds, including papyri, mud-stoppers, terracotta lamps and miscellaneous objects of leather, wood, glass, etc.
