Abstract
This paper discusses the history of use and abandonment of the two monumental building complexes in Areas FS and SS at the site of Tell Brak in Syria which serve as contexts of the microstratigraphic evidence under study. The authors then examine contextual variation in deposit types in order to identify key traces of different uses and meanings of space and micro-environment in a range of contexts within the third-millennium BC settlement at the site (p. 353).
