Boubousti Excavation 1927
Excavation: Research excavation
The settlement, which was only about 32 m. x 8 m. in area, and could not have consisted of more than a few huts, was built in and around a small dip in the hillside. In the dip, the depth of the deposit averaged one metre with two occupation-levels; on the edge of the dip, 30 cm. with one occupation- level. The settlement stood on a fairly steep slope, and its lower side coincided with a line of rough terrace-walls and a cistern, built in Hellenistic times. Apart from two well-preserved hearths, the remains consisted almost entirely of pottery, which, to judge by analogy with finds elsewhere and from a few imported sherds, should be assigned to the period ca. 1500-1000 B.c.
