The excavation of Pt. 25 is not yet finished but its main lines are known: it is a quadrangular hall, with probably a door to the SW; inside, two layers = the lower layer seems to be a habitation layer, with vessels of various types abandoned in place, tools and kitchen debris (animal bones); the upper layer contains mainly pottery but also domestic installations (stone bowl, trough); it bears the mark of a violent fire: calcined stones, ashes; [illegible] 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 support 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 on the debris, reusing the top of the walls. Above P. 25, Floor I is at a depth of 60 cm whereas elsewhere it is at 50 cm; this may be the result of settling, the underlying layers n'éta not being a very solid foundation.
