Table 2 Summary description of floors and occupation deposits in Building 5, and comparison to Building 1 in North Area. 

B5 Floors B5 overlying occupation lenses  B5 Area B1 Area comparisons 
Thick white plasters Few or no visible occupation lenses  Space 154 NW platform Space 71 NW platform 

Space 71 E platform 

Thin white plasters and mud plasters Recurrent lenses of dark grey ash  Space 154 SW platform Space 71 W platform 
Mud plasters, few white plasters Dark brown lenses, occasionally reworked and homogenised to form deposits with massive bedding by trampling  Space 154 low central area Space 71 central area was also lower than surrounding platforms, and had few white plaster floors. Fewer dark brown deposits survived in this area, perhaps due to evident extensive truncation 
Few mud plaster floors Multiple lenses of dark grey 'ashy' deposits  Space 154, adjacent to large oven in S wall  Although occasional lenses of ash were identified next to FI's in Space 71 and 70, this sequence most closely resembles B4 Space 151 NE next to oven. 
Mud plasters, few white plasters Dark brown lenses, occasionally reworked and homogenised to form deposits with massive bedding by trampling  Space 157, in front of storage bins Space 70 like B5 had mud plaster floors and only a few white plaster floors. Accumulated lenses in Space 70, however, were often ashier from oven rake-out, or were more orange from organic staining. 
Mud plasters, few white plasters Dark brown lenses  Space 156 Equivalent space = Space 70N (see below) 
Thick packing  Few visible traces of residues  Space 157, basal lining of storage bins Space 70N, floors in ?storage area
Thick reddish orange plaster floors Space 155 No comparison found at Catal in investigations 1993-98 
Thin white plaster Few visible residues  Space 155 'basins' Closest resemblance = Space 70 Features 16 (low small platform) coated in white plaster
