1. Production and Housing Area I Marker

Inscription. This is a rectangular building where spaces are arranged around a courtyard that allows communication, lighting and ventilation into the rooms. It has two clear entrances: one that leads to the courtyard without interfering with domestic activities and a second access that leads to the cooking area of this building. In one of the rooms three steps remained, allowing for the hypothetical reconstruction and distribution of space on the top floor. The height of the space is calculated according to the Mishnah's specifications concerning ground floor ovens. The top floor is very likely to have been used as a dwelling or sleeping space, so we may infer from this that the owners of this building were a large family.
