Phasing:
Mellaart Level: Unassigned at present 

Hodder Level: North.I 

Additional Phase Info: 4040.I = Surface eroded structures, generally phase uncertain, overlying 4040.H. within midden sequence Sp.226 and Sp.279 that comprises multiple sub phases associated with buildings to north and south. Prior to the introduction of the Hodder phases Sp.243 had been allocated to Mellaart Level V-III very crudely based on comparison of the material assemblage but Mellaart levels of buildings/spaces NOT excavated in the 1960s have been removed to allow an independent assessment on phasing. NB/Work in progress. Correct as of date entered or modified. 

Description:
Small structure within midden area Space 226 between zones of buildings. Bounded by B.47 to north dated to IV - III and B.45 to south dated to V - IV (FS 2009).

Space 243 is situated in the NE part of sp. 226.

It is rectangular in plan, ca. 2.60 m long (EW) and 1.90 m wide (NS). The space has not been excavated. It is bordered by walls: F. 1453 to the S, F. 1454 to the W and F. 1461 to the E. We are not certain about the N wall, because F. 1462 which borders sp. 243 seems to be a later one. Therefore sp. 243 it is possible that sp. 243 extends further N. It was cut by 2 Late Roman burials- F. 1455 and 1456, which provided sections. It seems that sp. 243 is part of a house- plastered features are seen in the N section provided by F. 1455.

It is possible that F. 1453 is a double wall. It consists of S and N parts/walls the S wall is shallower and probably lateri the N one is definitely related to sp. 243 and its N face of F. 1453 is plastered. The relations berween the walls of sp. 243 are not very well defined also due to later truncat on the late Roman burials and other cuts (U. 8880, 8886, 8889).

Since the space has not been excavated, we are not able to define to which level it was part of.
