The excavation of Pt 25 is not yet finished but its main lines are known: it is a quadrangular room, with probably a door to the SW; inside, two layers: the lower layer seems to be a living layer, with vessels of various types abandoned in place, tools and kitchen debris (animal bones) . The upper layer comprises mainly of the pottery but also domestic installations (stone bowl, trough) ; it bears the marks of a violent fire: calcined stones, ashes; the the bricks representing the upper parts of the walls and the roofing collapsed; they are also baked by the fire .
The furniture of Pt 25 and its form do not favour the initial hypothesis of a potter's kiln. It seems rather that it is one of the rooms of a house, which was destroyed by a fire. It was then abandoned and Floor I was laid over the debris, reusing the top of the walls. Above Pt 25, Floor I is at 60 cm depth whereas elsewhere it is at 70 cm ; this may be the result of settling, the underlying layers n'a pas not being a very solid foundation.
