Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: demolished layer,dump 

Data Category Information: In Situ: in situ; Location: floor (packing only); Material: re-used superstructure; Deposition: heterogeneous

Dimensions: 116 x 57 x 6 cm 

Discussion: This reddish pinky coloured big crumbly, possibly remnant of the oven top bit scattered inside and outside the oven. There is a gentle slope from E to W and deposition of. This feature almost levels it. Similar material also deposited inside the oven. Max. thickness 7 cm and the thickness increases gradually toward W. This also indicates heavy levelling is going on outside the room towards W.
