Remarks

Remarks:

Carbonized organic remains found amongst ceramic vessels in ash pocket in locus 68 above surface 73. There seemed to be a clay layer under locus 73. We determined that the clay layer was probably either a roof or a second story on which a pithos of either grain or barley was stored.
