Remarks:
To give precise measurements would constitute unadulterated fiction; one can only speculate on extent of L 13; apparently covered large portion of 2 x 4 m area (Loca 16/17-34/35); it was badly damaged, broken by Tumble 2; probe in Loca 28, 29, 34 revealed mudbrick of Destruction 5; Loca 35: Pit 15 yielded mudbrick detritus; probe in Loca 17 between Wall 11 & Pit 15 reached 913.44; mudbrick of Destruction 5 easily discernable
