Discussion: This is a bricky layer, one in a sequence of layers that seat on top of a roof of the Neolithic building. It is placed directly underneath midden layer (unit 7864). The layer is composed of a large number of small fragments of broken mudbricks, mortar, and plaster and plaster mixed with sandy clay (western part of the unit) and sand (eastern part of the unit). There is a large large density of constructional elements of oven in its central part. It is possible that fragments of destroyed oven were dumped deliberately on this spot.
