During the 8th c. B.C. it was an indigenous settlement. At the end of the 8th-beginning of the 7th c. B.C. the previous pavement was destroyed and a new one was built. During the 7th c. B.C. at the W side is identified a ceramic workshop area, producing greek and indigenous pottery. The settlement was abandoned at the end of the century.
