Interpretation

Function A collared pithos reused as a tabun; the pottery shows heat stress; the lack of an associated surface suggests it is part of the burnt destruction of the early Iron 1 town

Stratigraphy remarks How this relates to the mud brick on the N, W, & E sides is uncertain; perhaps this served as insulation; prob just a fallen pithos in the destruction
