Description:
Firstly is worth to mention that B. 122 where sp. 562 is located is not fully exposed and therefore partiallz excavated in 2016, and 2017 excavation season, due to the unavailability to expose W- part and E- part of the trench 3. It is highly probably that building is going more eastern part of the Trench 3. This building seem to be smaller in size than adjacent from the N- part building 150, as well as adjacent to the south B. 166 . They are all contemporary and with regard to the stratigraphical sequence. Therefore B. 122 is dated back to the TPC M period.
Eastern part of this building is burnt and the fire is recognized also on the E- wall f. 7183, p. where it exposes the white geometric wall painting.


In Space 562 which is located directly to the east, whose most distinct elements comprise the north eastern platform built against the western wall of Sp.493. Platform (F. 8262) is located in the northern part of this space. This main platform is located in between two benches: one abutting the northern edge of the platform (F. 8296) and the other abutting its southern edge (F. 8291). Bench (F. 8296) with two pillars (F. 7291, F. 7292). On the bench (F.8296) facing white geometric wall painting was exposed.

On top of the platform f. 8262 a bucranium f. 8292 were exposed and in 2017 excavation season a burial sequence were recognized. Althogether 7 feature numbers were given to the separate events and were revealed as a separate events (because of the differences between the cuts). These 7 features included 8 individuals (with sekleton number), and they are recorded as mostly primary indivuduals. Moreover some loose bones from the fill were defined, so they are not having skeleton number.


The southern part of Sp. 562 is particularly designated for an oven F. 8693.
