A series of important alterations seem to have been carried out in
the complex of the rooms surrounding H19 and courtyard H21. In
order to achieve a better understanding of the clustering of units
into households we must follow the sequence of alterations between
Middle Geometric II and Late Geometric II phases. During
the Middle Geometric we can be sure of the existence of room
H22 and that room H19 was certainly occupied. H22 at least appears
to have had a bench and possibly an informal hearth. H19
also seems to have had a bench. 33 In the Late Geometric I phase,
however, H19 and H21 were the only rooms of this house because
H22–H23 and H28–H29 constituted separate houses.
