In Late Neolithic II, the settlement expanded and the  population grew (2, 5 - 3 ha). The borders of the settlement lay outside of the Minoan Palace.
There were organized court-groups. The houses were of better quality with thick walls (with stucco) and a differentiated ground plan with thicker external walls, narrow entrances and a complexly arranged interior. Also, they enclosed small courtyards. These changes indicate an isolation of households. 
In stratum IV, there also was a broad wall (maybe a supporting wall) and 2 consecutive small walls that were connected to 2 floors. 

There were human skeletal remains scattered in Late Neolithic layers (adults and children). 

Cultivated plants: intensive cultivation of wheat and barley; einkorn;  wine (wild and domesticated)

Pottery: less range of variation; rippled, incised, wider variety of patterns (herringbone pattern, wire, tree, angle, zigzag pattern, rhombus, ladder pattern); more incised pattern than pointillé. biconical bowls with offset rims and rim-attached handles replace flat cups. also there: chalices, fruitstands;
Between stratum VI and IV there is a significant change in the pottery-technology (specialization instead of communal production).

tools: one axe (granodiorite from the Mirabello Bay), probably for cutting wood; green-grey axes (metamorphic volcanic rock, from the Siteia Area --> Achladia and Skopi).

Animal remains: sheep/goat; more cattle than before (mainly female, for milk and as draft animals); mice; marten; wild boars; capra aegagria
