Discussion: This is a partition wall of N-S alingment in western part of Building 62. No distinct mudbricks were observed. The unit was instead composed of three layers, each of them being a remains of one course of mudbricks. They were visible both in section and in horizontal plan. The length of the top layer (at the N-S alingment) measured 1.16 m and its thickness differed from 0.04 m in northern to c. 0.02 m in southern part. The length of the second layer measured 1.60 m and its thickness differed from 0.05 m in the northern to 0.04 m in the southern part. A composition of the walll was possible. Entire wall was composed mainly of greyish silty sand with large lenses of yellow and orange silty clay and many charcoal inclusions but still some differences between the layers were recognised. The second one, composed with other, had more clay yellow and orange lenses in the northern section while the bottom was mostly composed of brown silty clay with small yellow lenses (mainly in northern part).
The southern part of the wall was considerably destroyed and hence its height was smaller than in the northern part.
The wall along with its two other fragments recorded as units 13025 and 13049 divided space of Building 62 into western and eastern rooms.
