Interpretation

Function:

Formed a corner with Wall 3 & doorway for a surface to N & poss a surface to S; less substantial than Wall 3; it appears that later it may have fallen, been rebuilt & fallen again, with the doorway blocked intentionally to form a solid "wall" between Walls 3 & 6, separating the once-connected rooms; prob part of a wealthy person's house

Stratigraphy remarks:

Similar to Wall 3; bonds to Wall 4; with earlier surfaces poss below, since the bottom course has not been revealed for certain; L 15 (suface?) seems to enter the doorway & pass through to the other side (S)
