In Block ε at least five houses can be clearly made out. It is triangular and covers about 760 sq. m. It is separated from γ by a narrow lane that runs up the hill from the main street, from ο by a narrow, crooked, lane and from the unexcavated Block ζ by a straight, well-paved street. This street, as running level, has no gutter like the lanes that lead down to the main street on both sides of ε.

Rooms1–18.—This house occupies the northern part of the block, where the ground slopes downwards to the main street, from which it is entered by two steps, leading into a vestibule (2) with a stone bench on the left and a door on the right. The earth in this region was very thin and the exact position of the doors was lost. The left-hand suite of rooms (4–7) could only be entered from room 3; otherwise they are entirely shut off from the rest of the house. Owing to the slope of the ground the two lower rooms of this suite are reached by steps. Room 4 goes deeper than the others, the subsoil having been cut away. It contained an immense mass of pottery. Besides sixteen bowls, some of them painted with Mycenaean running patterns, and cups of various shape, there were no less than 980 of the small handleless unpainted cups so common in Mycenaean houses—by far the largest hoard of them found in any room.
