Full Description

{1} Another example, comprising a square building with a circular structure immediately to the north-east, lies in the north-western quarter of the town (Fig 4, TC2). The association of the square shrine buildings with circular structures that may also have functioned as shrines is striking, and it is possible that each pair represent discrete religious foci,
although in neither case was an enclosing temenos boundary recognised.
