Pyre J 2:30 was located approximately 0.20m below Pyre J 2:28, which was excavated during the 2007 excavation season. The oblong pit for Pyre J 2:30 was cut into Floor no 10 (removed in Lot ΒΖ 2122) and was covered by Floor no 9 (removed in Lot ΒΖ 2120), both of which dated approximately to the last quarter of the 5th c.
