The site consists of six Dantari statues, positioned in two rows of three facing each other. At the end of the passage composed by the statues, an arch from the Golden Dome Culture and at the other end, a Nabooian statue head, similar to the ones incorrectly attributed to the Gungan. Janta scouts remain in the vicinity of the site.
Unless extraordinary circumstances, it is likely that the arch and the Nabooian statue come from the same builders, thus pointing to a link between Naboo and the Golden Dome Culture. In addition, the Nabooian statue, with its decoration may represent an exogenous element to the decoration of the Dantari Statues. As it was noted earlier, the Dantari Statues wear jewelry, something completely absent from the Dantari culture. While the Nabooian statue wears a different type of jewelry (tiara, forehead dot, three-piece earing) it is, until now, the only other element having some.
If we are to recall the sites that encompass both Dantari and Golden Dome Culture, especially those using complex architectural intertwining (zigurats or hidden valley), this site strongly suggest that a Naboo population occupied Dantooine at some point in the past and left elements that have, over time, translated in Dantari culture, as exemplified by the large amount of statues used solely in relation with more traditional Dantari elements (markers notably).
