Area stratum III
Covered by surface layers of the later phases' installtions. The furnace itself would have been broken immediatlly following use for copper extraction. -- The furnace, its particles and the large concentration of slag immediatelly to the south indicate localized copper smelting that probably would not have been part -- below installtions of the later phase. -- of the original utilization of the fort and its gate complex.
