Overview

This phase includes the very last period of A16 evidence, from the decomposition of bricks belonging to the large brickfall, to the modern burials of the nearby village of Mozan and the topsoil. It is not important archaeologically because it does not show a specific period culture, but it includes all the events from the abandonment of the area to the surface of the tell for a 3000 years time span, without distinctive archaeological remains.

Objects

Not distinctive objects were found and the pottery look mixed and not reliable, because of washing and erosion of very long periods.
