Dimensions: 0.92 x 0.76 x 0.11 

Discussion: This is a possible hearth located under rubble cluster 13508, against the northern edge of the trench. It was recognized by the presence of burnt clay. The texture and colour of the unit except this burnt clay was identical to unit 13508. The burnt layer was present only on the surface of the southern part, where formed a sort of semicircular outline.In the northern part of the hearth only small traces of the burnt material were observed. No burnt inclusions and almost no charcoal was recorded within the unit so that its interpretation is very uncertain. No cut was distinguished. Northern part of the unit is beyond the excavated area.
