The Cobble Paved Building Phase (cp1-3) is developed further in the Cell Building Subphase (c1-3a-b; Middle PPNB). The dates postulated by the excavators are: Cp 9000-8600? BP, C 8600-8300 BP. The C14 dates have been taken from the phases befor and after the here described stage, which is why the settelment phase is "indirectly" radiocarbon dated, even though there are no exact dates from it.
