F. 3951 is an extremely regular plastered mud-brick wall, of either Hellenistic or Roman origin like f. 3948. It cuts into remnants of the Neolithic occupation of this area, such as f. 3952. It has an added face on its S. face. It was left unexcavated at the end of the 2012 season.
2013: The extent of this wall was determined. It consists of three courses. The highly regular square bricks, as well as having found Classical pottery in abutting contets, leads us to believe this is a Roman wall. To build this wall, its constructors cut into a great deal of standing and collapsed Neolithic mud brick to create a terrace, much as it appears they did for f. 3948 and f. 3984. |
