Discussion: Floor of this surface is reddish and hard burnt and it is possible to clearly distinguish between it and few centimeters thick black layer of charred remains that is clearly visible underneath this level of floor. The same kind of floor with this black layer underneath appears on the southern side of the internal wall and it is reasonable to suppose that it goes underneath the internal wall (feature 166) making it older in relation to the wall. This proved to be true when the floor was removed making a small section next to the internall wall. It was removed up to the lines of grid, which is unfortunate since it was possible to uncover the whole areas of this floor after removing the internal wall. Also, an interesting find here, that belongs to the black layer underneath is a shell with possible ochre pigment inside turned upside down.
