Space Number:  278

Area: North  

Within Building Number: 60 

Phasing:
Mellaart Level: Unassigned at present 

Hodder Level: North.H 

Additional Phase Info: Southern group of related buildings based on combination of stratigraphy (abutting relationships) and lithics assemblage dominated by Nenezi dag pressure flaked blades Heavily eroded at the surface of the mound, Sp.278 of B.60 lies over B.59. Prior to the introduction of the Hodder phases Sp.278 of B.60 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:
Heavily truncated larger room in B.60. Truncation due to proximity to the surface of mound, the true extent of which can only be speculatively based on the size of the underlying Building 59. If this is the case the excavated portion likely only represents just over a quarter of the building, with significant survival only occurring to the southeast. The surviving architectural elements mostly in Sp.278 consisted of 6 platforms; a bench, a central hearth/oven and an entrance ladder scar the southeast (taken from archive report 2006 SF 11/03/10)
