| Fifty large pieces of obsidian deposited in two episodes. The first episode involved the cutting of a rectangular hole [2054], fifteen pieces of Obsidian (2039) were placed in the hole and it was filled by (2055). At some indeterminate time later a shallower hole [2052] was cut and thirty five pieces of obsidian (2038) were placed in the hole before it was filled with (2053). The group (2039) were bunched and may have been in an organic container but there is no indication that (2038) was in any container. Some of the obsidian was broken. This may have been through packing episode (2030) but could equally have been caused by pressure during Mellaart's excavations. The caches were probably located just inside a blocked doorway visible on the southern wall of space 113 - a classic liminal location. An earlier cut [2063] in the same area may be related although it did not contain obsidian. |
