Within the fill of the pit several animal bones have been found, among which the skeleton of a saluki dog (i5, f96), complete and perfectly preserved, and the bones of a frog (i6, f97).

The bin, with mud-brick walls, is semicircular in shape. f93 is bounded in the N with f162, a well preserved brick-wall (f162 is the less preserved portion of a mudbrick wall, f161) which could have possibly had the function of being the north limit of the bin. This possibility is indicated by the presence of some small rounded stones visible in v61b and v61c, which are located on the bottom of wall f161 and f162, and which characterized the lower portion of the bin walls as well (as visible in v76). The bin consists of 2 lines of bricks that are placed one on top of the other; the lower row of bricks is placed on top of a row of small-regular stones f140, (as it is visible in v74 and v76); thus, the two different construction materials have been probably used at the same time. The bin, seems to be a bit damaged in its south-east extent, where the second line of bricks was not found in place and the first line was completely melted and disappeared completely until the floor surface (f170). The bin structure seems to be damage, or possibly, could have been open in its west extent, aprox. at the same point where the north baulk of k84 is located; however, it appears to have a half-moon structure. The bin floor is made of soil in the east, and of pebbles (f143) in the west; some pottery sherds were found within the pebbles of floor f143. The latter is, however, not only limited to cover portion of the bin floor but it extends toward west (in locus k83) where it is surrounded by medium-sized stones and, where it is partially covered by large stones (as for example f144 and f145, as visible in t62). B11 2010-02-03_U203SC.j sC f93, the so called bin structure, is a half moon structure, made of unbacked bricks, laid on top of a stone foundation (f140, as visible in v74 and v76). The northern wall is straight, whereas the eastern and southern walls are semicircular. It is only one brick wide and few bricks high. C99 2010-02-03_U203SC.j sC All of the pottery sherds found within f143, the pebble floor, have been collected and analyzed by mKB. C99 2010-02-03_U203SC.j sC The bin was empty and the funcion of this structure is unclear; however, given this structure and the structures in locus k62 and the tannurs found on top of walls f161, f162 and on the E baulk of k73 we assumed that it could have been used for storage purposes.

Only a small portion of the pit fill has been removed, i.e, the northern portion of f137, since this pit falls mostly within the southern baulk of k100, which has not been investigated during the 2006 excavation season. At present, the function of pit f137 is still unclear; it does not seems to be a dump pit.
