Pottery, slivers of burnt bone, and heavy deposit of carbonized material and cinders in pit in floor sequence, with some pottery and burning found outside pit. The deposit lay under a hard red clay floor, the lowest floor surface preserved in the courtyard. It was probably deposited in the course of the first phase of the house, when the floor was renewed. Hardened and reddened earth under the deposit indicates that the pyre was burnt in situ. | |
