Area O, kitchen with ovens 70. Excavated incomplete (51 x 32 cm), this frit mosaic, the colours of which were no longer recognisable, is composed of pieces of varying sizes (from 0.3 to 0.4 cm approx. to 1.6 cm, max. L. 2.5 to 4 cm), with geometric shapes, arranged to resemble the patterns of a kilim carpet. This decorative object, which probably had a wooden support, is likely to have adorned a wall. Its position on the kitchen floor is almost certainly accidental.
