Discussion: This is an irregular layer against two walla of N-S alignment recorded as units 13524 and 13592. It is composed of a large numeber of constructional elements of the domed oven or ovens. At present, it is impossible to define a number of ovens underneath this layer but it most probably varies between two and three. The layer was certainly formed at the post-abandonement phase of this area with a complex of ovens. Oven constructional elements are more abundant in the northern part of this unit, it is probaly there the ovens were constructed.
