It is attached to the southern wall. A bone cluster consisting of a dog skeleton over a cattle skull was partly in, partly by it. Not so well preerved.
Discussion:
It is against the saouth wall, with a squarish superstructure opening facing north, with a rectangular ledge/curb at the front. Oven deliberately backfilled to preserve superstructure. At closer look, it appears a cattle skull was inserted to the oven opening.
The skull lies above dog burial 11980. It seems as though the dog skeleton and cow skull were deliberately placed by the oven when the building was being backfilled, as no cut for the dog skeleton was found.
The dogs location directly beneath the skull may be a significant find. |
