Period Reference
Comment The earliest phase (4th Phase) of Sumaki, which seems to lie on the natural ground (partl exposed in the 2010 season), is represented by rectangular dwellings made of "lime slabs" kerpic (mudbrick) and twigs-and-reeds. They are different from the 3rd Phase buildings with regard to both plan and building techniques; however as this phase has been only partly exposed in the 2010 season, only limited data are available.
