The expansionof the excavated area has enhanced our understanding of the spatial organisation ofthe settlement during this period and its developments from Buto IIA to Buto IIC1.The whole LEC sequence is characterised by large multi-cellular enclosures.Smaller quadrangular configurations could be considered as domestic units in thestrict sense of the term, connected, in one way or another, to large fenced enclosures.Mud brick buildings appear for the first time towards the end of Buto IIb with a similarlayout.Studies undertaken at Tell el-Iswid also contribute to underlining a possible shift fromsmall to larger storage pits at the beginning of Buto IIb and thus shed new light oninternal changes during the Buto IIb period, prior to the development of exchanges withMiddle/Upper Egypt in Buto IIIa.Lire moins >
