Discussion: This unit comprises the removal of 2nd oven floor and packing. The floor was 3-3.5cm thick, brown greyish in colour, very soft and easy to remove. It was fired and laid on a packing of clay. The packing consisted of soft black brownish clay above and harder yellowish sandy clay below, total thickness 6-6.5cm. As I removed the floor which was highly damaged and the packing I came on the initial floor of the house, it consists of silty light yellow clay and is not plastered. The initial construction of the oven is horseshoe like and its E part is not preserved.
