Between the floor's gravel- laying there lie abundant quantities of ash, and beneath the same a thick layer of charcoal pieces, larger and smaller, fragments. These burnt layers are interrupted by a larger stone set on edge and the outermost part of the floor is almost free of such fire remains. The same stratum is also found in the cross-section at the corresponding part.
