Discussion: It is a double wall probably dated back t Phase II. It consisted of 6 layers of mudbricks. The measurements of mudbricks are following (from W to E):
Ist upper course= one brick in eastern part-0.30 x 0.30 x 0.08
Iind course:
N course:0.35 x 0.45 x 0.08, 0.70 x 0.40 x 0.08, 0.66 x 0.42 x 0.09, 0.70 x 0.30 x 0.08
S course: 1.00 x 0.40 x 0.08, 0.74 x 0.30 x 0.08, 0.50 x 0.30 x 0.08
IIIrd course:
N course: 0.70 x 0.40 x 0.08, 0.73 x 0.42 x 0.08, 0.64 x 0.42 x 0.07,
S course: 0.35 x 0.45 x 0.08, 0.79 x 0.38 x 0.08, 0.72 x 0.39 x 0.08, 0.53 x 0.39 x 0.08,
IVth course:
N course: 0.20 x 0.37 x 0.08, 0.74 x 0.43 x 0.08, 0.70 x 0.40 x 0.08, 0.48 x 0.37 x 0.08
S course: 0.36 x 0.30 x 0.08, 0.74 x 0.40 x 0.08, 0.72 x 0.37 x 0.08 x 0.40 x 0.08
Vth course
2 bricks in eastern part
N course:0.86 x 0.42 x 0.08
S course: 0.70 x 0.40 x 0.08
Vith course:
one brick in eastern part partly destroyed by later cut.
The bottom couse of bricks was placed on a relatively thick mortar(13037). In general, bricks had similar size and most of them were made in the identical manner.
The difference between lowest in W and E part of the wall is intringing and it was 0.35 m. It is indicate of the wall placement on a pretty step slope. Accordingly, a layer of mortar and 2 bricks were placed to level the surface in its E part, before a wall might have been built. The wall was truncated from both W and E by later cuts and hence its relation to other walls as well as buildings and spaces deemed to be impossible to specify.
