Just to the n. of the granary and adjoining it is a large house (25 × 10 m) consisting of five rooms, one of them a kitchen and another a store room. In the courtyard of the house has been found a symbolic burial, without skeletal remains, consisting of one complete and another half four-legged unbaked urns containing a Jorwe painted jar covered with a lid. In the same area but at a slightly later level is another similar urn with the skeleton of a 35 years old male. The elaborate burials and the multiroomed house no doubt belonged to a dignitary, perhaps the ruling chief. This is also supported by the location of the granary where he stored the grains collected from the members of the community as tax.
