Discussion: This is a cluster of stones placed directly on the floor 15809 of Space 325 in Building 74. Altogether the cluster was made of stones of similar size, a significant number comprised fragments of broken, possibly in a deliberate way stone tools and grinding stones. Some of them were burnt and those in the N part of the cluster were located on a very thin layer of ash. It seems that he stones were palced deliberately on the floor as a part of the abandonment deposit along with a number of a cattle bones recorded in infill 15261. Two of the bones: skull and mandible(x10,x12)were locates directly on the edge of the cluster.
