Space Number:  276

Area: North  

Within Building Number: 59 

Phasing:
Mellaart Level: Unassigned at present 

Hodder Level: North.G 

Additional Phase Info: Central group of related buildings based on combination of stratigraphy (abutting relationships) and lithics assemblage dominated by East Gollu dag bifaces and percussion blades. Sp.276 of B.59 lies below B.60 and above unexcavated B.83. Prior to the introduction of the Hodder phases Sp.276 of B.59 had been allocated to Mellaart Level VI - V 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:
In the NE corner of the living Space 311, was a threshold step into another larger storage room Space 276. Unlike the regular form of the main body of the building the space to the NE was irregular with very limited wall plaster and course and uneven floors and appears to be utilizing an existing space dictating its form. It contained three largebins against the western wall, all in a poor state of preservation due to their proximity to the surface. It was initially believed to be a knock through from the main building later in its life, however the removal of the floor sequences in both Spaces 311 and 276 show that if this was so it occurred very close to if not at the inception of the main
body of the building.
