Description:
Space 509 is the interior of a possibly pre-Roman, but certainly post-Chalcolithic building 120. It consists of three walls-- and extends beyond the limits of TPC trench 3. Functionally, it was created by terracing cut [u.30229], then the building of walls f.3948, 3984, and later f.7150. On the floor (f.7153) we found 4 in situ vessels. The space also includes 3 bins, almost identical in construction, built successively on top of each other. Wall f.7150 represents a later interior wall, made of reused materials like roof finials. So far, this is the only space associated with building 120 and their function may be as a storeroom, and the construction does not appear detailed enough to be meant for display, but the floors and bins were plastered, perhaps to engender cleanliness. The intact vessels seem to be for shipping or storage.
