A number of rooms excavated northwest of the temple seem to have been built a little later. Their construction method is fundamentally different and they were rebuilt several times. However, their location suggests that they were originally directly connected to the temple complex. Some rooms were perhaps residences for temple personnel. Altars found indicate ritual activities. Others rooms seem to have been workshops, with evidence for grinding pigment, marble-working, production of miniature altars, processing oil, and hammering metal - activities that probably supported the temple's religious operations. In addition to pottery, uncovered objects of everyday life imply the presence of both men and women.
