The negative of a crushing basin (L121) was discovered in a pavement of worn stones at the southern part of the area (L106; Fig. 2). A collecting vat (L113), in whose rim perforations were cut to access the oil draining from the crushing basin, was set to the north of the negative.
A section of a fieldstone-built wall with mortar and white plaster as bonding materials was exposed in the northern part of the area (W111; Fig. 3). The wall’s eastern face was plastered and its western face was cast. It seems that this was part of a crushing installation that was associated with the remains in the southern part of the area.
A room (L107; Fig. 4), whose wall foundations (W104, W109, W116; Fig. 5) were preserved a single course high atop brown soil, was exposed west of W111. Wall 104 was built of ashlar stones, whereas Walls 109 and 116 were constructed from fieldstones.
The ceramic finds from the layers of fill, relating to the olive press, included a jar (Fig. 6:1), the base of a juglet (Fig. 6:2) and a sprinkler (Fig. 6:3), which dated to the Byzantine period; a deep bowl (Fig. 6:4), jars (Fig. 6:5–10) and a jug rim with handle (Fig. 6:11) that dated to the end of the Byzantine period–beginning of the Umayyad period; and jars (Fig. 6:12–15) that dated to the Abbasid period. A jar without neck and rim (Fig. 7) that dated to the end of the Byzantine period was discovered on Floor 106.
The meager glass artifacts included fragments of bowls, bottles, a base of a small goblet with a beaded pedestal that dated to the Byzantine period and a broad funnel-rim with a wide wavy trail decoration that dated to the end of the Byzantine period–beginning of the Umayyad period.
