They revealed a post built hall complex in Trench 1, the contiunuation of the Western Hall Complex in Trench 2 and in Trench 1, a geophysical anomaly lovingly called "The Blob" by the team, when excavated, revealed an incredibly complex host of features including an intact hearth that could not be amply investigated and interpreted given the time constraints of the excavation.
