Discussion: This is a truncated wall (N-S). Due to truncation only western part of the bricks from 1 st course were able to recorded.The exploration of the wall took place simultaneously with the exploration of the perpendicular wall 13581. This strategy was implemented to define wheter both walls are contemporary or not, and alternatively to link these walls with already recognized Building 74. During exploration it became clear that the mortar placed under 1st course is the same as mortar under 3rd course of 13581. It implies that these walls were contemporary and they can be defined as two walls (eastern and southern) of B74. Exploration of this wall was ceased after lifting up the 1st course due to completions of the excavations in the tp area. First course of bricks:
24 x 34 x 9, 41 x 40 x 9, 40 x 40 x 9, 40 x 40 x 9, 40 x 41 x 9
