Discussion: Unit 30210 consisted of mud bricks. They appear to be Roman in style and construction. This fact is supported by having found Classical pottery in 20271. It looks as if the wall is cut in the Neolithic material construction (u. 20267) and lied on the Neolithic wall f. 3952. One edge of this wall extends into the east profile of the trench. All edges are visible and distinctive, because of the color and structure. Recognition of feature was easy because of the regularity of the bricks and their square shape. Each brick measures 39 cm in length and 42 cm in width. The unit was excavated quickly by pick and trowel, and was not sieved because of its late date of construction.
