Space Number:  332

Area: South  

Within Building Number: 75 

Phasing:
Mellaart Level: Unassigned at present 

Hodder Level: South.P 

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. Space 332 is a room of B.75 that overlies Space 367 and Sp.329 sealed by B.68 and B.65. Prior to the introduction of the Hodder phases Sp.332 had been allocated to Mellaart Level IVB and a review of the phasing (S.Farid Archive Report 2008) had placed the phasing as more akin to Level V. 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:
Lying immediately to the south of Building 75 was a small room Space 332 defined by wall F.2643 at the east and F. 2644 at the south. As with Building 75 this space was truncated at the west and its upper extent also having been removed. It remains unclear whether this space was part of Building 75. That it is perhaps suggested by its shared use of the south wall of Building 75. Despite the truncated height of the south and east walls of the space, these appeared to have been rebuilt or added too given the differing mud bricks recognised in its upper build. Contained within the walls of this space was roomfill deposit (16239) this containing mini clay ball cluster (16240) situated within the south east corner of this space. The rough surfaces in this room (16523, 16572) yielded a number of unusual finds including mini clay balls, bone points, broken axe heads, and a bone toggle. Also found in these deposits was a large spread of apparently in situ obsidian debitage (16536, 16583), suggesting obsidian working. Two other surfaces or make ups were removed from this space (16588) and (17001). Apart from the walls defining the space there were no notable architectural features in this space.
