On the southeast wall there is a collecting gutter for rainwater from the roof over the megaron part nearest room 67. Nearest the floor lies a blackish earth to c 10 cm thickness and above it c 0,50 m thick beige earth. Resting on the black earth was found in a recumbent position an improper statue of stone l 65,0 cm (447). Whether it has haft anything to do with room 77 is impossible to say. Another find was made in the collecting gutter itself, namely Iron spade l 36,5 cm broken in three parts. The above-mentioned water gutter leads down to the almost filled-in cistern in room 29.
