Middle Neolithic Megaron

The ruins of the Middle Neolithic megaron with its two rooms clearly visible. Large Neolithic buildings with two chambers are commonly called "megaron" that implies the residence of a leader, even though their use is unknown. These structures that were usually larger than the rest, and built in the middle of the settlement, could be also a communal space, or even a place of worship (their general outline resembles a later Greek temple). Visible at the background of this photo, is the impressive wall that supported the much larger later megaron which was built in the Late Neolithic period.
