No significant complexes. Sector S4 (20 x 1 m, 20 m2, Fig. 7). No significant complexes. Sector S5 (20 x 2,5 m, 50 m2, Fig. 3). S5 Complex 1 (Fig. 3, 4). A dwelling structure represented by a mass of daub that was concentrated in the west side of the section and spread over its entire excavated width (2,5 m), with a length of 8 and 9,5 m. Most of the platform of this dwelling structure extended beyond the margins of the trial trench and only its eastern margins were revealed in its confines. It is likely that the platform was oriented N-NW - E-SE. The daub platform was identified at the base of the cultural layer, 70—75 cm under the surface. It was 8-15 cm thick and extended down to the level of the sterile soil. Inventory: 44 pottery fragments, 14 of which were re-fired. They originated from 7 vessels. Date/culture: Lăpuş II-Gáva I.

The pit was dug into the sterile soil reaching a depth of 86 cm from the surface. It had an oval ground plan (110 x 80 cm). Its walls sloped towards the base which was flat and laid 14 cm under the outline of the complex. The fill was dark grey with brown and black inclusions. It contained carbonized plant remains and daub fragments. Date/culture: Late Bronze Age; not assigned to an archaeological culture. S5 Complex 3 (Fig. 3, 4) — Amphora deposition. The base of an amphora (PL 4/4) was preserved down to the level of the lowest row of bosses. It was buried upside-down in the cultural layer, but no evidence of a pit was found in its vicinity. The upper edge of the preserved part of the amphora appeared immediately under the surface. This illustrates that the lower part of the amphora was destroyed by cultivation.

Dwelling structure preserved in the shape of a burnt daub platform and carbonized plant remains. It was uncovered in the western half of the trench, over an area of 5 m in length and 4 m in width. Only a part of its western margin was investigated as the rest laid outside the trench. These daub fragments spread over the entire trench, over an area of 220 x 100 cm, and extended into the southern side of the section S6. While the remains of burnt walls were identified in the upper part of the cultural layer in 50 cm depth, the platform itself laid 60 cm under the surface, 10-15 cm above the sterile soil. The dwelling structure superimposed the pits Complex la, Complex 2 and Complex 3. Inventory: 118 pottery fragments (14 of which were re-fired) that originated from at least 6'vessels.
