TL;DR: The Hellenistic temple of Apollo at Didyma as mentioned in this paper presents several unique features in its plan, such as a double colonnade surrounding it, no opisthodomus, and a pronaos containing three rows of four columns each.
Abstract: The Hellenistic temple of Apollo at Didyma presents several unique features in its plan. In its exterior it resembles the typical large Ionic temple of Asia Minor with a double colonnade surrounding it, no opisthodomus, and a pronaos containing three rows of four columns each. But at this point the plan of the temple was modified in the strangest manner. For the pronaos does not lead by a great central doorway into the cella, but where the doorway should come, the worshipper entering the building found himself faced with a blank wall 1·495 rn high with above it a colossal opening 5·63 m wide (PLATE VIIa). Consequently the worshipper in the pronaos could not even look directly into the sanctuary. Instead, just above his eye-level beyond the embrasure of this ‘window’ stretched the floor of a large room, 14·04 m by 6·73 m with its roof supported on two columns. Through this room's central door (which was opposite the window) the spectator on ground level outside could catch a glimpse of the upper part of the naiskos in the inner court (the adyton).

TL;DR: The majority of the tablets were written between 697 and 671 B.C, during the reigns of Sennacherib and Esarhaddon as mentioned in this paper, and three isolated documents of much later date, belonging to the reign of Sin-sar-iskun, BT. 105.
Abstract: During the spring of 1957, the British School of Archaeology in Iraq carried out a second short season of excavations at Balawat, ancient Imgur-Bel. The excavation of the temple of the god Mamu was continued and to the east of the cella two small rooms were uncovered. In one of these was found a collection of forty tablets, in varying state of preservation. Of this collection I publish twenty-nine, the others being too badly preserved to give a useful text. The majority of the tablets were written between 697 and 671 B.C., during the reigns of Sennacherib and Esarhaddon. There are three isolated documents of earlier date: BT.101, 710 B.C.; BT.106, 734 B.C.; BT.131, 719 B.C. There is one isolated tablet of much later date, belonging to the reign of Sin-sar-iskun, BT. 105. It is noticeable that these tablets do not contain any of the names familiar from the transactions of the main group of documents.

TL;DR: The evidence for this interpretation comes from the inventories of the Temple of Athena Parthenos as discussed by the authors, which dates from 434/3 to ca. 408/7 B.C.E.
Abstract: The Treasury of Athena on the Acropolis in Athens was originally located in a room known as the Opisthodomos in the Old Temple of Athena Polias (the Archaios Neos). After 406/5 B.C.E., it was moved to the western room of the Temple of Athena Parthenos. The evidence for this interpretation comes from the inventories of the Temple of Athena Parthenos. The inventories, dated from 434/3 to ca. 408/7 B.C.E., record offerings housed in three places in the new temple: the Proneos (the eastern porch), the Hekatompedon (the cella), and the Parthenon. This "Parthenon" must refer to the chamber behind the cella, which is entered from the west and which housed a collection of miscellaneous sacred objects. In 406/5, there was a fire in the Old Temple, and in 403/2, inventories recording dedications "from the Opisthodomos" and "from the Parthenon" first appear. They show that both the Opisthodomos and the room called the Parthenon were emptied, most likely as a consequence of the fire. This article argues that after the western room in the Temple of Athena Parthenos, which had been called the Parthenon in the earlier inventories, was cleared, it was used as the treasury and renamed the Opisthodomos.

TL;DR: The first building erected in this area in the Early Bronze IVA (2400-2300 BC) was the monumental Temple of the Rock, which was ritually sealed and abandoned at the beginning of the early Bronze IVB (around 2300-2250 BC) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Recent excavations carried out in Area HH at Tell Mardikh/Ebla identified a huge sacred area in use from the middle of the 3rd millennium BC until the final destruction of the Middle Bronze Age city. The first building erected in this area in the Early Bronze IVA (2400–2300 BC) was the monumental Temple of the Rock, which was ritually sealed and abandoned at the beginning of the Early Bronze IVB (around 2300–2250 BC). Two of the pits inside the cavity in the cella of the Temple were found to have been filled with a large quantity of fine vessels, as part of a purification ritual carried out before their definitive sealing with superimposed courses of mud-brick. These provide the first coherent ceramic pottery assemblage for the initial stage of the EB IVB Period, and accordingly shed new light on the ceramic horizon of North-West Inner Syria during the last third of the 3rd millennium BC.
