- Ceramic material provides preliminary 10-11th c. date. Numismatic evidence consists of: two locally minted coins of time of Romanus III (1028-1034), two locally minted coins of time of Constantine VII (second quarter of 10th c.), locally minted coin of Basil I (867-886),two locally minted omega-rho coins of the end of the 11th to the 12th c., Hellenistic Greek coin of the late 3rd c. BC. Note that on a spatial level, the coin of the 9th is deep below the surface in this layer and one of the coins of the 10th c. was 10cm or so below it, while all the coins of the 11th-12th c. are just below the surface -- thus it is possible that the floor was laid in the 10th c. and the later coins were trampled into its surface during the period of its use. This would make the ceramic and numismatic material match fairly well.
