| Discussion: Working in the SW part of the trench, next to the oven. The objective here is to investigate the area for possible floors related to the oven. After removing stratum # 4, a surface with traces of white plaster, badly preserved is revealed. We stop excavation at this point and we call this floor Feature 108. In section feature 108 seems to overlay feature 109 (floor). |
