This Insula is now seen to contain five houses, (i) 1–22, (ii) 23–25, (iii) 28–31, (iv) 26, 27 and 32–39, (v) 40–47. The partial excavation of 1–36 was described in B.S.A. viii. pp. 310–316.

Rooms1–22—The continued investigation of this house yielded some interesting results. In the courtyard (11) we uncovered the remains of a verandah, the wooden pillars of which rested on round limestone bases (diam. ·38 m., ht. ·18) distant 1·40 m. from the walls of rooms 10 and 12. On the East, rectangular bases alternated with the round ones, as in the courts of the palaces at Phaistos and Gournià; these probably supported piers of brickwork or stone. A quantity of charred wood, brick-earth, and freestone blocks reddened and disintegrated by fire, lay over and round about the bases. At the West end of 13, where the plan shews a double wall, part of the later one ·55 m. thick was removed, exposing a face of well-finished small ashlar coated with white plaster. The precisely similar masonry of a small house on the South of the Ridge was shown by the pottery found in it to be as old as the Middle Minôan period. 15 may be explained as a bath-room; its entrance was at the N.W., screened as usual by a cross-wall, not at the S.E. angle where the previous plan shewed it; its carefully plastered floor (Palaikastro I. p. 315) was level with the adjoining floors, as was that of the bathroom in the Queen's Megaron at Knossos.
