| Comment | The site has been dated with only one sample obtained in Structure A2 (see respective entry for more information on the dating), providing a date of 5770 +/-80 BP (4775-4525 cal.BC). The here described Structure was found much lower than the buildings in Area W500 though leading to the conclusion that it is dating to an earlier phase. |

| Description | Structure A3 was identified at a muh lower elevation in square W400 , about 2m deeper than A7, and 4,5m above the base level. It was not a dwelling structure bt probably a specialised workshop space. It consisted of a large area delimited by a low wall of compacted clay and stone fragments. The two orthogonal sides uncovered in the exposure revieled that the structure probably had a rectangular shape, at least 3 by 4m wide. The entire structure looked like a peculiar wide basin, occupied by a thick layer of pure clay. Only one hemispherical cup was found in the structure, which was interpreted as a clay decant pit, possibly related to pottery production. |
