A photo of a lime pit (P13) in the area of Tzoumerka; the shape of the pit, as well as remnants of some built parts covered now with vegetation are discerned. It is next to K06, meaning that this was a standard site where lime production would take place; firing one kiln and building another to be burnt afterwards.
