Discussion: Wall made of bricks of different size, shape, and kind and oriented W-E. Its western part consists of large bricks about 0,32 x 0,29 x 0,1 m in size. However its exact size might be different as upper layer of bricks is destroyed to a certain degree. Central and eastern parts of the wall consist of smaller bricks different in size and shape. They are considerably destroyed. On top of this wall, in its central part another wall was built. It's oriented N-S and made of stones (unit 6891, 6892). It looks as if these two wall were later destroyed by a pit (unit 6823). that was dug on both northern and southern part of it. The other possibility is that the wall was located at the bottom of this pit (no 6823) since its length is exactly the same as length of the pit. The wall was built on top of unspecified character with a lot of large sherds (pithos and amphora's) and signs of burning.
