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

Discussion: An area of orqnge sandy clay overlain by a patch of material that is more typical of the materila used in features than mudbrick. It protrubes from the norther wall. This is possibly a bench associated with the last floor level that survived in the northern and western areas of the space. Some bones associated with this material (whivch is in a very disturbed state) may have been imbedded in its matrix. Three stones were used in the makeup of the bench at a low level in its southern end.
