It is supposed to be resided during 4000 - 1500 BC. The burial and ritual space lay in the centre, while the houses surrounded the space.
Many artefacts were excavated : shells, fish bones, fish hooks, stone tools, stone or clay figures and raised stone phallus. Now a standing stone remains in the centre space. An attatched museum will be open in 2016.
