4. TYPOLOGY

Function

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on function 2008-09-13 pC this building was probably the southern gate to the temple terrace: it is dated to EDII and the building technique is the same as for the walls of the terrace (revetment wall). The orientation of the building reflects the same orientation as the staircase. The plaza in the 3. millennium was a free space beginning from this point. Probably at the beginning of the second millennium the limits of the plaza were more to the North and this building was anymore used. Another possibility is that is a corner wall and not a building; in this case is the south and east boundary of the plaza [Input: S902PC.j]
