More archeological findings

Keeping up with the massive digging at the ground floor of the RawJah house, in the "youngest" part of the building dated not much after 1851, I found these two big flat stone slabs. 




Most likely they were at some point at the "zero level" of the ground. They could have been placed there even BEFORE they added this 4 x 4 meters room when the entrance door of the building was the present division between the two adjacent rooms. 

In the 1811 map of the building there was nothing officially listed or built here...



Were they maybe the basement for some sort of mechanical scale?

It is right in the front of the building, along the main road... the only road of the village. Giving for granted that they had a VERY precise idea of proportions and measurements, it looks like the road was much wider in the past. Maybe some sort of temporary street market? Who knows. Definitely setting them aside for some future use.
