| Description | The Early Chalcolithic settlement is composed of various architectural remains. Walls of mud were erected on two almost parallel stone foundations, which were built with coarse unhewn stones. The fragmentary archaeological remains can be reconstructed as a small room or a house but due to the limited excavated area its exact shape and size cannot yet be determined. Postholes, pits and stamped clay floors with more than one use-level demonstrate two living horizons. Comparable layers of stone rows covered by mud deposits could be detected along the attached profiles of the northern border of the tell. |
