In connection with this building with cemented walls and floors there also stands offering-wall no. 17. During the clearing of the wall entirely similar offering-walls were found, which seem to have stood at a little over 1 m distance from one another round the whole wall. In the west wall 2 + no. 17 = 3 pcs. were found. Of one of the pots only a few fragments remained (66); of the other only the concave impression in the wall. In the south wall, on the other hand, all of them were found, 4 in number. 2 of them (67 and 69) were completely intact, the others were lifted in sherds:
