Research layer Karahan notes
- Use reported wording where exact loci, phase, 2025 details, or object metadata remain open.
- Do not turn architecture, channels, sculpture, or fill evidence into one settled ritual function.
- Use AC as a bounded and covered structure. Do not add contents, imagery, pillars, or function that the 2021 publication had not yet exposed.

- expandable-ready
- Canonical source object for Karul 2021
- Later excavation/publication check for AC inner fill
- Image/figure locator for Fig. 11 and rights status
- Move to BH formal-source search next, because BH has strong reported dimensions, vessel, platform, channel, burning, and broken pillars, but still needs formal plan and locus support.
- Detailed evidence notes remain available for deeper review.
