This is a large Hellenistic pit that truncated the Neolithic deposits recorded within the Building designated by Mellaart as Building 5. It was relatively shallow when compared to similar pits excavated in the TP area. It contained large fragments of late pottery though, including a big part of storage vessel placed next to the cut wall.
The cut truncated Neolithic walls- at its bottom the corner of the Building made up of solid, double wall was visible. Its basal boundary has not been clearly defined yet. As for 2012 season a decision has been made not to continue with excavating this pit. |
