| This extremely enigmatic feature attaches to wall f.3948. It is rectangular in shape-- in fact, about the shape and size of an Islamic burial. But it contained pure ash and charcoal, leading us to briefly call it a grave-oven. But when the ash/charcoal was removed (u. 30247), all that was beneath was some poorly preserved but unburnt plaster (u. 30275), meaning that the fill of this unit was brought from somewhere else-- or it was subjected to sufficient heat that the contents carbonized without the structure beneath suffering burning. This is why we have called it a bin-- it seems designed and used for storage, although of course it does not appear like the storage bins in the Neolithic houses. Or, for that matter, anything else really. It is built on top of both bins f.7151 and f.7152, which are similar in appearance although their contents were not similarly preserved. It is built into cut [30279] which disrupts the flatness of floor f.7153, and cuts into Neolithic mud-brick material. It is this bin and the two others attached to it that have caused us to tentatively identify the building as a storeroom. |
