Discussion: The unýt 5105 ýs laýd as a floor for the oven and than the wall 5102 ýs constructed ýn the E sýde of ýt joýnýng to the floor. The materýal are used for E wall of the feature ýs also same for the floor. It ýs dense greenýsh clay. However ýt has burnýng on the surface. However, that suggest not beýng ýn use for a long týme and somehow ýt ýs collapsed. Thýs ýs must be almost contemporary wýth the abondenment of the W sýde of the buýldýng.(Remember the densýty of the hearth ýnsýde the buýldýng movýng E - W dýrectýon ýn the southern part of the buýldýng. Relatýon of the floor wýth W wall of the feature slýghtly dýfferent from th eE part of the feature because the floor goes dýrectly to the W wall, and abutts, whých ýs belong to an earlýer oven or hearth ýn thýs corner.
