Finds dating to the Late Roman period (mid late 2nd to mid-late 4th century) were found on a later oor of the stoa. These Late Roman nds were covered by a layer of soil 0.45-0.50m deep which concealed Early Byzantine pottery dated from the mid-late 4th to the 6th/7th century. This Early Byzantine layer was covered by rubble in the 6th century which concealed a variety of discoveries from the Classical period to the 6th-7th century. The Early Byzantine layer, however, revealed less complex finds. Some 54.47 % of the wares consisted of red slip table ware, while the rest consisted of coarse wares, storage / transport vessels, oil lamps and earlier unguentaria and black glazed wares.
Phocaean Red Slip Ware from the period between the second half of the 4th and the 6th /7th century is the most common table ware (90.56%). African Red Slip Ware imported from North African workshops between the 4th and the 6th centuries is another red slip table ware and constitutes 4.61 % of the total. Light Colored Ware, for which the Cnidian region is suggested as the production center, is a less common red slip table ware with 0.86%. Overall, 10.85% of the pottery consists of cooking ware including cooking pots and casseroles. Similar examples known as the Aegean type are found in the 5th century context of Corinth and Messene. Other forms found were the lids of cooking ware (2.54%) and kitchen ware (5.92%). Bowls or basins with an averted rim, which have incised decoration depicting waves, parallel lines or notches, are common amongst the kitchen ware. Similar kitchen ware from Ephesus, Miletus and Parion is dated to the 5th-6th century. 10.04% of the pottery is storage/trans- port vessels. The most common LRA 1 amphora has a nearly cylindrical neck ending, a concave rim, and a thick handle. The LRA 1 type of amphorae is known to have originated in Cilicia and Cyprus.
