Remarks:
Each clay spot contained about 15 nari fragments per 10 cm2 (nari varied from 1 mm2-2 cm2) and ca 10 charcoal spots per m2; these clay spots covered almost the complete locus; some spots appeared to be square; against the N face of Wall 17 a dark brown red clay inclusion was found of ca 80x15x15 cm containing burned material; against N face of Wall 17 a concentration of clay spots was found together with some big-sized horizontal lying sherds and clay inclusions on L 22
