Introduction

The main disaggregation in J6 is the large brickfall that covered the area in the middle of the Mittani period.

Brickfall

A large brickfall generated from one or several buildings to the east of J6. The collapse covered units J6, J7 and J2. It collapsed on top of a surface, the glacis, which sloped from northeast to southwest. A fire probably caused the collapse, which occurred just before it happened.
