Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: pedestal/podium/plinth; Material: pise-like; Deposition: homogeneous

Discussion: This unit is situated almost midway of the west side where partition wall stood up. This rectangular column or base like feature was like a buttress built in the west side of the partition wall F 535. It is roughly 60 x 52 x 16 cm dimension and later than last floor. There used to be exactly the opposite another one but those are not well preserved and collapsed terribly. These two columns or column base like features may suggest sort of entry to the north-weat corner in this end and may be that is why this corner much cleaner than southern end, due its protected or raised entry (even might be blocked).

It consisted of plaster, mb agg., and small particles of stone with also small amount of charcoal, light brown coloured and partly sits on the wall which is an early wall.
