Discussion: Lower fill of burnt room, Space 94. Directly on the floor. It is the result of collapse of walls and roof after burning. The high quantity of ash and charcoal on the floor might indicate the presence of fuel (wood) which was subsequently covered by the demolished daub and burnt plaster. 10299 covers three stones (two worked ones) which seem to be placed directly on the floor, presumably before the fire started. The eastern side of the room, near the wall, is covered by a substantial piece of wall fallen on the floor.
