Remarks

Remarks:

Sloping inward as it goes up; built directly on Surf 38 along with ashy fill; had a ring of support stones around it on the outside with a little earth between the stone and the clay; top half may have been made from a large ceramic vessel that was collapsed into the fill inside; innermost layer of the clay had fired hard; prob helped it stay in shape
