be a hearth closed on three sides and built of air-dried bricks, which had been
heavily subjected to fire (see fig. 51). The walls consisted of the air-dried bricks set
in pairs on edge. Those on the northwest wall were the best preserved in the whole
brick course, the opposite wall, consisting of whole and fragmentary bricks, being
much broken, while in the last wall the
rear brick is wholly wanting. On the
north edge the backward-lying bricks did
not suffice to complete the rectangle.
Fragments were, therefore, used for this
purpose, but they are only partially pre-
served. The fire and ash bed of the hearth
consisted of an earth floor, paved with
small stones. Of this pavement only a
small part is preserved at the open side.
Anciently it had been repaired during the
period of its use—not with repaving, how-
ever, but by application of several thin
earth layers, which are only preserved in
places. The hearth is shown in different
stages of the excavation and from different
sides in figs. 52, 53, and 54. Fig. 52 was
photographed before the examination; figs.
53 and 54, after the examination.
This hearth is simply the last member of a series of superimposed hearths and
fireplaces. The remains of an older hearth of similar construction were found
immediately underneath the
one just described. It was
shoved a little northeast,
but, like the upper one, it
opened on the opposite side.
The preserved wall, consist-
ing of simple rows of brick,
had been completely slagged
and glazed on the inside by
the fire. Below this older
hearth, ash layers can be
observed to the level of
+23 feet 7 inches. Where
they stopped the earth floor
is burnt and merges down-
ward into the natural earth,
which is the original floor of
the room. This floor must
have been gradually raised
to the level of +24.5 feet, for only in this way can we explain the upward suc-
cession of layers of ashes and hearths.
