===Area G=== [[File:3-D reconstruction of Area G.jpg|thumb|377x377px|3-D reconstruction of Area G by Nic9137]] Area G is located at the midway of Area B in the North and Area A in the South. First excavated by Dr Donald P. Hansen in season 3H, Area G consists of a building complex and a curving wall which are separated by around 30-40m.<ref name="Ashby 2017 86" /> ====Western Building Complex==== [[File:3-D reconstruction of Area G of Lagash.jpg|thumb|277x277px|3-D reconstruction of Area G by Nic9137]] 5 building levels are found in the area. There is little information about Levels I and IIA as they were poorly preserved without sealed floor deposits.<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal |date=1991 |title=Excavations in Iraq 1989-1990 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4200346 |journal=Iraq |volume=53 |pages=175 |jstor=4200346 |issn=0021-0889}}</ref> In Levels IIB, III and IV, changes can be found in the building complex with reconstructions. In Level III, benches are built near the eastern and northern courtyards. Sealings made in the “piedmont” style which are found in the rooms share a resemblance with the Seal Impression Strata of Ur and sealings from Inanna Temple at Nippur,<ref name=":6" /> indicating the administrative nature of the buildings. Apart from institutional objects, fireplaces, bins and pottery were found in the rooms as well.<ref name="Hansen" /> ====Curving Wall (Eastern Zone)==== A 2-m wide wall that runs from the south to the north is found on the eastern part of Area G. The features of the curving wall and the rooms found near it are determined to be different from other oval temples built in the Early Dynastic in other major states. Intrusive vertical drains are found at the base of the plano-convex foundation.<ref name="Hansen" /> Archaeologists excavated further deeper to the water level during season 4H and found extensive Early Dynastic I deposits.<ref name="Ashby 2017 86" />
