Summary/Abstract: In excavation seasons 2008 and 2009 works were carried out at the monastic refuse dump in sector B of the site. The excavated layers, mostly dated to the 6th–7th centuries, were found to be disturbed by a pit containing two burials (T.500 and T.501) and by a trench for vaulted subterranean structures (B.31 and B.32). The intact strata yielded a substantial number of finds, including papyri, mud-stoppers, terracotta lamps, and miscellaneous objects of leather, wood, glass, etc.
