Discussion: (4759) was a small irregular deposit which overlay an oven (F524). Its was mostly made up of mixed, clayey materýal but it included an ashy layer at the base to the west. It contained a sheep/goat scapula and a chunk of obsidian but little else of note. It appears to have been the product of some sort of dumping activity rather than a carefully placed assemblege. It could represent the latest use of the oven or a dump of material that was used to infill it at a later date.
