Because the EDIII wall was not exactly aligned with the Ninevite V wall and its stone escarpment, a baqaya and sherd escarpment f184 was added to protect the base of the new extension from erosion.

Phase 3m (Stratum 650) modified the temple mound by extending to the west the Early Dynastic III period monumental stone revetment wall f189 to intersect an earlier Ninevite V monumental stone wall, f41. Because the EDIII wall was not exactly aligned with the Ninevite V wall and its stone escarpment, a baqaya and sherd escarpment f184 was added to protect the base of the new extension from erosion. |
