Of special importance, was the cemetery, which, according to the grave construction and the placement of the dead, was identified as a Muslim cemetery, presenting the first of its kind identified in the wider region of Thessaloniki. The two single finds of the cemetery, a carnelian ring and a carnelian bead, date it to the early Ottoman period and/or at the late 14th century. In a lower level lie the prehistoric depositions which were interrupted by sparse graves dating from the Archaic to the Roman period.
