| Description | |
| Comment | Houses demonstrate typical division into two units seperatet by another by a joint. The smaller front unit consisted of two compartements, while the main unit at the back was divided first into two tiers by a longitural partition, and then by two cross-walls into six rectangular compartements unequal in size. Under the floring the houses had two longitudinal channels of 30 cm width ("Two-tier channel type"). Into the foundation platform there were burials found sunk beneath the clay flooring. There were found fourty-five so called "roasting pits" or "basal pits". |
