ds molded head of a female figurine. Only a small portion of the neck is preserved. This figurine depicts a woman with a small mouth, big wedged eyes and eyebrows. The figure is wearing a head dress that resembles a high turban shaped like a crown with a band on the front, decorated with incised small vertical stripes. The head is hollow, which indicates a high level of craftsmanship. It could also indicate a certain function. This is hard to determine because the rest of the body is missing. The facial features and style of this representation are not very consistent with the Mesopotamian style, or Urkesh style. This human figurine has classical period characteristics. Since we do not have any evidence of a later Roman settlement in the region nor we are in the right time frame to suggest an influence from Roman or Hellenistic occupation area, or importation, we have then to assume at least that this figurine was imported, in later periods.

ds torso of a female figurine. The head and the left arm are missing, as well as the body from below the waist line. The left shoulder is preserved, and the right arm is placed on the torso just below the small breast. The fingers of the right hand are depicted (5 fingers) but not in an anatomically accurate way. The shoulders projects away from the body which leaves a wide space between the body and the arms. The arm is extremely long, and its depiction is not realistic at all in terms of proportions, as the upper part of the arm is very long, and the lower part is very short. The placement of the elbow is not realistic and the lengths are disproportioned . There is a trace on the torso where the left hand should have been placed, so it is plausible that the left hand was place in similar position to the right one. The drawing does not show if the small breasts are applied or molded, and it does not reflect the actual projection from the body. The author’s guess is that what we are seeing is actually the traces that the broken off breasts left on the body. The figure is wearing a necklace in the form of a band around the neck with wide vertical incision. The necklace extends to the back forming a counter weight.

ds head of a female figurine. Part of the neck is preserved, while the rest of the body is missing. The general shape of the flat back side suggest that this was in the form of a plaque or a product of a mold. The represented figure has a very wide nose. The eyes appear to be closed. The figure is wearing a turban like head dress. Part of the hair is showing from under the head dress as shown from the parting of the hair. The headdress continues all the way down the neck and it probably extends even further like a shawl or long scarf. The features of the woman appear to be foreign to the region. In addition, this style is not consistent with the finds in the region in the Bronze Age.

ds small head of an anthropomorphic figurine. The long neck is preserved. The figure is represented bold headed with two big round eyes. The profile rendering shows no features other than the chin and opened mouth. The nose details are visible only from the frontal view. This head resembles to some extent the head of a turtle. This representation is very minimalistic and childish. The drawing does not reveal if there is a breakage at the neckline.

ds torso of a female figurine. The head and arms are missing, so is the body below the waist. A very small part of the shoulder is preserved. The small breasts appear to be applied. The fact that the body below the breast was rendered smooth in the drawing, indicates that there were no arms placed on it, and therefor did not leave a damage trace when broken off. This leads us to conclude that this is not the case of the holding breasts female depiction. The interesting part of the figurine is the preserved part of the necklace the figure is wearing. It appears to be a thin band that goes around the neck, with round beads on it (only half of the band with two beads are preserved). The band goes all the way to the back of the neck and continues slightly down the back to form a counter weight.

ds head of a male figurine. The rest of the body is missing. The figure is wearing a hat with a wide rim and incisions on the top part to give the hat a textile texture. The pointed tip of lower part of his face indicate that the figure is a bearded man. The bridge of the nose is preserved. The bottom half of the nose, the face and the right eye are incrusted with soil, hence damaged. The left eye is formed from a round flattened piece of clay, with a deep horizontal incision in the middle, shaped like a coffee bean. Ears are not depicted. Note: found in A14 dirt pile.

ds anthropomorphic figurine depicting a male. The body is cylindrical with a round base. The arms are represented as small conical knobs with a round tip. The head is also shaped like a round tipped cone. The figure has a pinched nose and a beard. The mouth and eyes are incised on the clay (as it appears from the drawing). The profile view of the head gives the impression that the figure is wear a cloak with a large head cover. Note: figurine was found in excavation unit J2.

ds torso of a naked female figure. Head and left arm are missing, so is the right part of the hip and both legs. Right hand is placed on the waist (four visible fingers). On the left side we can see the fingers of the left arm still on the waist. The drawing indicates a wide breakage line around the neck and from this breakage we can see that the figurine is hollowed. Breasts are applied, shaped like a round tip cone (as seen from the profile rendering). Navel is represented like a circle with a small dot in the middle of the circle. The pubic triangle is depicted, with incised wide lines within the triangle as a schematic rendering of the pubic hair. The buttocks are emphasized and depicted projecting outwards.

Breasts are applied and positioned in a strange location, almost on the shoulders area. The buttocks area is prominent. The figurine is painted with two dark gray crossing stripes on the chest extending to the neck and one horizontal stripe on the waist. The pubic triangle is illustrated by paint and marked by two incised lines extending from the line separating the thighs. The back of the figurine is not painted.
