CANCELLED. Post-excavation study of the data led to a reinterpretation of the activity in this area. See revised interpretation of 17008.

Once 17008 and 17034 removed, revealed clay bottom, but stratigraphy showed layers not present during excavation (including pebbled surface on the Northern and Southern extents of the cut). This cut appears to be filled with ashy charcoal and vessels, not all with evidence of burning.
