ABSTRACT

The remains of buildings at level VI (c. 5600 BC) show that they were exceptionally well built. Nine large houses were found (up to 10.5m×6m) around two sides of a rectangular court, the walls of which consisted of rectangular mudbricks on stone foundations (1m thick). Some of these houses had upper storeys made of wood, and timber posts supported the ceiling. Access to the houses was by centrally placed double doorways.
