Building 52

Area: North 

Location: North of 10x40 stripe excavated in 2005 

B52 is located north from the "street" and south from the possible open area S90. Spaces 91, 92, 93, 94 form the western part of the building, whileits eastern part is covered by the construction of B51. There seem to have been two other spaces 254 and 255 part of the same building since there is a crawl hole between S94 and S254 and since S255 and S94 under the B51, have a common burnt wall. Nevertheless, S91 and S92 seem to have been a later addition to B52, but it is possible that in that area there were spaces related to B52 also previously, but they got backfilled and walking level raised. The disuse of B52 seems to have been an accidental fire, that caused the burning of the walls and their collapse inside the rooms. Subsequently B51 was constructed directly in it, in the eastern half, very close to the floor. This was done by cuting through the burnt infill at lest one meter deep, with a precise lcation on an existing internal division line. This indicates that the construction of B51 occurred relatively close after the destruction of B52. NOTE - Space 254 is void and has been replaced by space 290 and 291. (DE 22-07-06)
