Description:
This space is bounded by wall f.3933 and wall f. 3963, two Neolithic walls demarcating a rounded area in the NE corner of trench 3. It is the first-- and highest-- area in trench 3 to appear to be part of a Neolithic building.

The space had at some point been destroyed, likely in a fire, and this is due to the fact that everything included in the space had been burnt.
In the space 4 bins were exposed, together with a lot of barley, wheat and ground stones, leaving this space to be interpreted as some sort of storage room. The various fill units have been excavated and sampled by the botanists.
