Thus Mackay concludes that several kilns unearthed in the G section of DK mound were undoubtedly used for baking pottery, and those in the palace (of Intermediate II date) may have been used by an armourer in the making and repair of weapons and tools, which recall the armourer's shop in the palace at Kish. All other kilns which should probably be assigned to the late I Phase, probably served for baking pottery and that is why these were placed in the outskirts of the town. (MCK, 172)
