Description and Bibliography

Of the three streets identified within the gallery complex, Main Street is the only one that has been excavated along its full length.24 The archaeologists uncovered a small drain running along the center. One point to note is that botanical samples from this area were sieved prior to flotation, probably causing a loss of material.25
