| This is a complex of four rectangular and parallel to each other kilns. They are located in northern part of the excavated area and comprise a central sector of the production part of Late Hellenistic/Early Roman phase of occupation of this part of the mound. A state of preservation of subsequent kilns varies so does possibility of their reconstruction. The best preserved is the very western kiln (unit 7066). It is a sectional superstructure made of a large interlinking mudbricks. It was probably used for spindle whorls production. The remaining three kilns had less solid construction. All kilns except for the most eastern one had perforated base set on top of a relatively thick layer of burnt black and brown soil. The largest kiln is located from eastern side and it is destroyed to such a degree that no reliable reconstruction is possible. A large rakeout area is located in front of northern edge of kilns, and it is especially well observable in case of two central objects. The walls of these kilns are made of a row of mudbricks and usually two or three layers of bricks are put one on the top of the other. |
