Discussion: It is a mud brick wall oriented N-S placed in W part of the area axcavated in 2008. Stratigraphically, the unit was placed directly underneath the second course of the wall 12230. The wall comprised only one course of the bricks oriented W-E. The bricks alignment was different than in younger wall 12230. Below the bricks 15889 in the N part of the wall there was discovered kind of make up layer 17631 3 cm thick. The wall 15889 was shifted 12 cm to the W from the alignment of the wall 12230. Size of the bricks in the course are as follows (from N to S):
1. 0.42 x 0.74 x 0.10
2. 0.41 x 0.74 x 0.09
3. 0.41 x 0.74 x 0.09
