The other room (A.2) was much smaller and remained unplastered. Beside a niche
in the eastern wall, it had a spacious niche, a small room in fact, in the southeastern
corner, with a floor raised about 1 m above the walking level in this room. This niche
presumably served as a place for sleeping.
Both the equipment of the larger room and the various changes made in its
interior are evidence for a rather long occupation of this complex. In the second phase,
when the storage bin was filled in and covered with a floor, when a comfortable bed with
a profiled headrest was added just by the southern wall and a hearth for cooking meals
located in the northwestern corner, the complex seems to have functioned together with
unit B.l, communicating through an enlarged window previously set in a niche in back
of the storage bin.
Unit B.l is small (3.4 x 3 m), cut in rock and carefully plastered with mud and a
layer of lime plaster. It had two benches by the northern and western walls and a
