Notes

Notes:

There are many uncertainties in the reconstruction, since some objects have different find-spots according to various publications (e.g. the ingor fragments or the balance weight). Also the identification of bronzes is inconstant. Platon Kopaka 1993 p. 76: «Par d’ailleurs, le restes de matières colorantes dans le remblai de Phourni (1) semblent renforcer l’hypothèse de l’existence, à l’étage, d’un métier à tisser, même si, en l’absence d’information supplémentaire, on saisit mal leurs rapports avec l’installation etudiée». In ARCHANES 1997 no indication on the nature of the colored substances.

Notes

Notes:	Apparently there are some problems of chronology. It can be suggested to date the evidence of textile activity to the LMII, with multi-functional use of the slab and to date the use as latrin to the LMIII, when no more textile activity is attested.
