4. TYPOLOGY

Function

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on function 2007-07-18 pC intense use area in front of apron and wall f128: the ashy layers indicate that there were burning activities and the walls parralel to apron and wall f128 were probably built to bound the area in front of the apron and frame accumulations South of them. Possibly bounds the sacral area, which in the third millennium was larger, i.e the plaza. [Input: S206PC2.j]
