Additional Phase Info: Main spine. This space is part of the stratigraphic spine that forms the dating project sequence. The spine has been derived by direct stratigraphic relations as far as possible but does include some abutting relationships. Seals B.85 and constructed over by B.53. NB/Work in progress. Correct as of date entered or modified. 

Description:
South area. An external space with quarry pits and middening below Building 53. An hearth/oven F2701 and F.2702 was originally phased with B.53 however these features are clearly truncated by the foundation cut for B.53 walls. This space may relate to Roddy's external oven phase? Excavation of this space has not been completed as of 20/07/09. Continued excavation of this space is expected during the excavation season 2009.

Update 15/09/09. FS
large external area underlying B.53 and stratigraphically above B.85. To the north, east and west SP.132 was truncated by Mellaart's excavation. To the south SP.132 extends beyond the limit of excavation. SP. Is characterised by severe pitting- generally intercutting pits. These pits cut through laminated midden and can be filled with laminated midden deposits. They can cut through more compact building debris dumps and can be filled with midden, and they can cut through compact dumps and befilled with compact dumps. So, there is no uniform activity pattern occuring- some may be quarry pits otheirs may be disposal pits in the case of the laminated midden pits. These deposits are characterised by what lisa Marie has identified as faeces interspersed with ash lenses. Could these deposits have been quarried for their organic content, for use in the fields?? Otherfeatures of this space include a hearth or oven that was only partially exposed within the excavation area (F.2701). This all fits within the south around about the same phase (FS)
