The bin was fired in the house fire to the same intensity as the surrounding walls and floor. Yet, they are found only charred and still complete. The distribution of macro-artifacts including the plant remains discussed above is very markedly concentrated in the southern burnt half of the building. A big pot was found near the lentil bin, which has slight traces of secondary burning. Almost all animal bones found in and immediately below the level of burning were located in the burned part of the House 1.
Fire affects bone by reducing the organic content and causing color changes.
Thus burning of the bone can be recorded on the basis of color. Distinguishing food preparation and secondary burning can be done based on bone discoloration and knowing that flesh on the bones will shield them from the flame. To date the faunal analysis shows that roasting was not a common cooking method in House 1. Therefore, we can posit that most of the burning of bone and horns in House 1 is secondary, that is, not a consequence of food preparation but of larger fire in which they were caught. The analyses of micro artifacts as well as micromorphological analyses of the floor and the microfauna will certainly be very helpful in the study of house buring.
