Southwestern corner of a larger building, oriented west–east, constructed on top of mudbrick platform ^wl23. The wall extends into both the eastern and northern baulks and is located only 1m below the tell surface. The structure presents niches and buttresses along its outer face. The wall is preserved to a height of nine mudbrick courses in the northern buttress, whereas only three courses are preserved in the southern buttress. This difference is due to the slope on which the wall was constructed, as well as the truncation of its upper part, which creates a north–south slope for the surface of glacis ^gl2, which sealed it. The wall is built of red mudbricks (40 × 10 cm) laid in gray mortar. The mudbrick fabric contains small white pebbles. [Input: ZK304pC.j] |
