| Description: | The Pyre was revealed in a layer of 4th c. fill in the north end of Room 6, just south of Wall 8. Room 6 is defined by the street wall (Wall A) on the west, Wall 7 on the east, Wall 9 on the south (preserved only as a stub on the east side of the area), and possibly Wall 8 or Wall 6 on the north. 2.5 meters SW of the pyre, a patch of floor surface at J/10-1/20 at 52.188 masl. was found. This small patch of floor may represent the floor surface that originally overlaid the pyre deposit. This pyre is the northernmost pyre found in Section ΒΖ North, and its location suggests that the Classical Commercial Building continues this far north. | |
