Discussion: This is a wall of W-E alignment placed in the southern part of te trench. It was one wide brick structure in one part and two-wide brick structure in the other as it respected size and shape of older wall (u 13093) on which was partially placed. Its eastern section was truncated by deep cut later filed in by heterogeneous material (u 17805). It consisted of 4 courses of bricks in the upper part made of two rows, 3 courses in the on-brick wide section underneath of them (these that were built against the southern face of the older wall. The lower courss were composed of uneven number of bricks. The lowest (the 7th) course consisted only of one brick. The folowing 6th course was built of two full-sized bricks (one orange and one greyish) and one half of brick, while the 5th course consisted of 4 bricks. Tese three lower courses formed the eastern edge of the wall (the one that was later truncated by u 17805). A number of bricks in subsequent courses decreased as the wall in its S part was to be built in a deep but that was getting shallower to the west against N face of the wall. The middle part of wall in its four upper courses was truncated by later cut and infill (u 11765, 11766).
