Architecture Description

Material

chert Qualifier 1:

Bottom was reached in SE corner; destruction beneath (pebbles); Most of the Wall 13 was removed during the 2010 season, because the wall was unsafe. Some mudbrick was found during sifting. We left a stub of the east end of the wall to protect Wall 8.llo
