| Description | The remains of a building were found. It had 8 rooms on 70 m² and built in a but-and-ben construction. Rooms I, II and probably III had a thatched roof (materials came from the Kairatos banks). The walls were made of big stones, and in between them were small stones, bones and mud. Room II had a white clay floor. The house could be entered from the south, and the rooms were all connected. Outside of the house there was a courtyard, which was surrounded by a slender wall. The bones of domesticated animals were thrown away there. |
