## Where it stands

**Disputed** Two pieces of evidence for, three against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Worked stone, tools, hearths or other human traces in Units 1 to 3.
- Radiocarbon dates on charcoal or bone from sealed construction contexts in the deep layers, matching the soil dates.
- Voids of regular geometry where the tomography shows anomalies.

## What would rule it out

- Deep cores and trenches through Units 2 and 3 that find columns in their natural cooling orientation and no anthropogenic material.
