Space Number:  316

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.316 of B.59 lies below B.60 and above unexcavated B.83. Prior to the introduction of the Hodder phases Sp.316 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:
Space 316 appears to be a space for food preparation containing two fire instillations a large oven in the SW corner and an open hearth in the NE corner, the other two corners were occupied by storage bins, both with similar morphology. As can be expected the floors within this space had been subject to many minor repairs and resurfacing events, with several clearly demonstrating evidence of fire or heat damage as well as many of the make up layers containing ash and charcoal deposits from rake out events or fire spots. This room was most likely accessed from Space 311 but no clear entrance is visible due to the removal of the two central posts.
