Structure CB is reported as an oval special building in the southern part of the settlement. The published description records seven T-shaped pillars set in front of the walls, probably raised on a bench, together with a central T-pillar — the pillar-and-bench arrangement that marks out communal, non-domestic buildings across the Taş Tepeler sites.
The building is only partially excavated, so its full plan, dimensions and any carved decoration are not yet established. On present evidence CB reads as a smaller southern counterpart to the elaborated northern communal building, but that is a provisional reading from preliminary reporting rather than a finished excavation account.
03
The seven wall pillars, the central pillar and the probable bench put CB in the special-purpose rather than domestic category — a smaller southern counterpart to the elaborate northern communal building. That correspondence is a reasonable reading of a partly dug building, offered as interpretation until the plan is fully exposed and published.
