| Entry: | We started excavation of the northern side room (Sp.444) and this room was infilled (particularly to the north with burnt fill). The sides of the walls facing into the room were burnt and this was possibly part of the series of burnt buildings that Mellaart excavated as his trench cuts the northern part of the side room. In form the side room is a thin room that extends away from the internal dividing wall rather than being the same width as the main space to the south. In the main room (Sp.370) we have reached the level of the northwest platform and just above this was a lot of plaster collapse which must have fallen of the western wall as much of the upper part of the wall has no plaster. Some traces of red painted plaster were found in the infill and these would have been from an earlier phase of the building. |
