Site covered with weeds, lower slopes have some agriculture. Bee hives on top. East side has low sloping area--might be lower town, cultivated with peppers. We saw three snakes at this site.

Survey Conditions(include time spent on site)	Survey conditions fair, sherding difficult due to weeds, bees, pepper cultivation and snakes, sample ok
Collection Comments	Lower slopes has concentration of L. Roman types, outer town similar but with more coarse ware, top has more fine R. terra sigilata types. 12th-13th century indicated by sgraffito glazed plate, interior channeled rim, ecxt. brown and green dribble glaze, fine incised, Danishmen large-red everted jar rims, rope impressed, both pithoi and bowl forms, co-appearance of KM55 large base and everted jar rim types cf. 55, Sept.13 and 55:3 suggest they are associated here as well, worth doing a reanalysis in detail. Collected 93 and 94

Iron Age note	Flat plate// incurved rim bowls with externally thickend rims (6-00); Kilise and Kinet type bulls-eye (local Cypriote imitation type) (6-00)
Hellenistic Late Roman note	Terra sigillata or imitation, rope impressed, black glazed ware, more Hellenistic than LR possibly
