Area 7

In area 7 a flat pit was discovered in the 4 x 3 m excavation area (fig. 1). It contained many pieces of very simple pottery fragments (fig. 2). It can be interpreted as a waste pit, in which also some bones and a greater number of burned clay as fragments of a houses wall were found. So there must have been houses in the close neighbourhood. The pottery fragments after the provisional restoration indicate the rests of at least 5 hand made vessels with rounded bottoms. By new C14-analysis this waste pit can be dated into the last four centuries B.C., so into the Pre-Roman Iron Age.
