Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: feature; Description: oven; Material: re-used superstructure; Deposition: homogeneous

Dimensions: 0.60 m E-W x 0.18 m wide in the center 60 mm thick 

Discussion: A lower packing behind the second oven wall 2398, similar event and function as 2701 but more ashy. it may have derived from F.I. contact but west accumulated in-situ as not finely layered as burned debris would be. The overlying 2071 forms the same function which is packing for the later wall but is a lot more solid and contains the horn core X1
