Discussion: This is a well preserved hearth placed in central part of Building 62. It turned out t obe possible to notice its constructional elements. The hearth was covered by a solid lid c. 0.04 m high. It was made of mid brown/light grey silty clay which colour clearly originated from exposure to heat. The hearth had a solid wall made of light/mid grey silty clay. It was particurarly well manufactured from east and south part, and was c. 0.08 m high. Interestingly, no such wall was observed from north and west where solid walls of earlier hearth located, in this place here placed. However, they appeared c. 0.04 - 0.05 cm below upper part of the hearth recorde as unit 13030 and hence they did not constitute its constructional elements (see: unit 13029). The hearth wall was plastered by some sort of agobe.
It seems as if harth recorded as unit 13030 is a younger, reconstructed version of older hearth (unit 13029), which was placed using some of its elements. It was certainly built and used during occupation of floor of Building 62 (unit 13040).
