Stone-lined Pit

The Stone-lined Pit was used as a dump for household refuse. This pit was a "gold-mine" to the archaeologists, where they found preserved seeds of wheat, rye, barley, radish and also hazelnuts. The tip of a deer antler and burnt remains of cattle, sheep and pigs were also found. All these finds, gave a great insight about the occupants farming and eating practises. This pit was originally an underground chamber that ran under the round house. The pit was very important also in helping to date the site, by Radio-carbon Dating, using charcoal remains. The stone-lined pit is restored as it was found during the excavation.
