In this stage, the building with clay floor and the covered drain between the buildings were excavated almost to the bottom. When the decomposed wood was removed, its holes can be seen as grooves and hollows in the clay. In the upper corner of the picture there can be seen the stone foundation of the 18th-century building and the levelling instrument with which the heights of the finds and the constructions are measured.
