| NOTES: | Floors made of unworked local stones (8 to 10 cm in diameter) and flat stone slabs, several hearths (c. 0.5 m in diameter) with fragments of burnt bones and charcoal. A with crushed olive pits and pulp, evidently waste from olive oil extraction, radiocarbon dates of the olive pits range from 7480-7230 to 6669-6519 cal. BP. Three water wells constructed of alternating courses of wooden branches and undressed kurkar and limestone pebbles. Fill consisted of soft clay, small pieces of stone as well as several bird bones, olive pits, some pot sherds (one with an incised design), flint flakes and waterlogged plant remains such as tree branches and straw. Wood samples from the well construction were radiocarbon-dated with ages ranging between 7890-7615 and 7005-6385 cal BP. A feature associated with producing olive oil was recovered at a water depth of 1 m. It comprised a pit dug in the clay paved with stones containing thousands of crushed and whole stones and traces of pulp, evidently olive oil extraction waste. Flint implements, faunal remains.Special finds include a wooden bowl, water-logged pieces of a braided basket, straw mat. |
