After removing the heterogeneous fill of the space 88 (unit #2268) a packed platform deposit was discovered in the NE corner. It seems that the expected first floor of the made of plaster had been destroyed or hadn't even existed, since not a trace of it was found (according to the excavator DRB). On the other hand, packing (unit #6244) was very thick (7-15 cm), realtively loose and with surfaces covered with salts, which may indicate some organic material being stuck to these blocks of rubble used to build the platform.
With unit #6250 layers of plasterings on the western corner of the platform were removed, and it was apparent that the platform is later than the neighbouring F. 1003 (bin). The lower part of the platform towards south was curving, most probably because it was added later to the small platfrom that stretched along the north wall. Inside this older platform anima bone tools and obsidian tools and ochre were found and it can be assumed that they were placed there deliberately.
