Description:

Located on the east wall of the kitchen was an arched niche. The interior was coated with stucco. The niche was situated close to the floor, about 0.40m, with a small rectangular niche cut into the wall beside it, perhaps for a lamp. A limestone arula was found nearby which had traces of burning, and decoration on three sides showing a temple structure, a shield and spear, and a vase.
