2010-09-26 lC Sort of clay installation badly preserved. Just the eastern part has been uncovered. It consists of a thin wall of very compacted clay 10 cm thick, showing different layers of pressed clay. Going deeper the surface become less compact and seems to disappear. The remains suggest an oval shape for this installation. The function is not clear, not having found the bottom (excavated for just 10-15 cms). It could be a sort of clay or water container set out in the ground. [Input: U928LC.j]

Argument 2010-09-26 lC The shape could also remind a kiln. Some ash has been uncovered but not as much as expected from the use of a kiln and moreover the walls are not vitrified nor show firing traces. More excavation is required to better understand its function. [Input: U928LC.j]
