Description:   It was situated in the NW corner of Room 3 in the Classical Commercial Building, just S of Wall 11, the cross-wall that divides Room 3 from Room 4 to the north. The pyre pots were found surrounded by fill with charcoal and burnt bone below a floor surface preserved immediately to the E (J/13,14-2/7,8; 52.20 masl.).
The pyre deposit continued up to the north face of late Roman Wall C, suggesting that these lower courses of Wall C were packed into a narrow trench instead of built up within a wider foundation trench.
