The wall measures 90 cm in width and 5.30 m in length, consisting of two visible coarses of 40x40x10cm bricks. The wall appears to bond with the southern wall f142 and the northern wall f7, but does not show a clear bond with the "buttress" wall f5. There is no visible difference between the color of the bricks and the mortar, making it difficult to define the depth of the wall. It did appear that an accumulation lay below the two courses of bricks, but resulted in more bricks below. While removing the bricks of this wall, it was observed that two of the bricks appeared that they had a carving of a fish. This fish carving most likely was created naturally, and was found next to f5 and removed. This wall rests on the stone foundation f172 only in the NE side. ;D06 8867 @top ;F02 ab f0003 ;F02 ab f0005 ;F02 ab f0025 ;F02 ab f0051 ;F02 bo f0005 ;F02 bo f0007 ;F02 bo f0142 K05 reddish f 5 ;D06 8867 @top ;F02 ab f0003 ;F02 ab f0003 ;F02 ab f0004 ;F02 ab f0142 ;F02 bo f0004 K05 reddish M01 Likely built later than f4, its function was probably to "buttress" the earlier wall f142. f 7 B11 Northern mud brick wall of the one room structure a1. It is 160 cm wide 3.20 meters long and consists of 4 courses of 40x40x10cm bricks. The wall extends out of k5 into the previously excavated A10 area. The wall shows a terraced look due to erosion and rests on a reddish accumulation f24 and the stone foundation f172 belonging probably to an earlier building phase. It is not to be excluded the possibility of finding that f7 is not one, but two walls. It appears that it contains an internal "buttress" wall measuring 70 cm in width, similar to the opposite f5, and the earlier external wall of 90 cm in width. The bonds between these two walls and between the "internal" one are unclear. ;F02 ab f0003 ;F02 bo f0004 K05 reddish .rd L721 f 8 D06 8800 @bottom D06 8922 @top ;F02 ab f0022 K05 yellow, grayish K06 10YR 8/3 f 9 D06 8781 @bottom D06 8886 @top ;F02 ab f0022 ;K05 yellow, grayish f 10 D06 8773 @bottom D06 8906 @top .rd L718 ;F02 cu f0031 .rd L721 ;F02 ab f0022 ;F02 co f0030 K05 yellow, grayish K06 10YR 8/3 f 22 B10 ^aa B11 This feature is an accumulation of thin reddish layer mixed with a grey layer underneath found within a2.

Another similar deep depression can be seen next to the North wall f7, to the presumed NW corner of a1. Those indentations were probably made in order to continue to house the large stone components associated to the earlier floor f62. A square mud brick resting on the floor f51 and likely aligned to the two limestone stones would seem to belong to the same installation. Two Khabur jars (i2,i4) are also associated to this floor. The first one seems to rest on an indentation of the floor; the second one standing in the NW corner of a1, rests directly on the floor. ;D06 8761 @top .rd L710 F02 ab f0003 F02 ab f0004 .rd L712 ;F02 ab f0059 .rd L714 f 57 ;D06 top 9107 ;F02 co f0027 F02 co f0037 .rd L712 f 59 ;F02 ab f0051 ;F02 co f0050 ;K05 grey f 62 B11 Medium compacted floor underneath the thin accumulation f64 which separates it from the floor f51.
