If part of a large house was later converted into a craft workshop, what does this indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Residential space was reused for economic activity over time
The governing concept is changing land use revealed by architectural alterations and archaeological layers. If a section of a residence was later equipped or arranged as a workshop, the safest interpretation is that domestic space was repurposed for production or another economic activity. Option D is correct. The evidence does not show that craft production ended, that the original use is unknowable, or that the house was exclusively ritual. Dating the alterations helps establish sequence.
