Description (summary) 2026-03-04 pC Southwestern wall face of the western section of ^wall6 in J5 and J1, continuing east of ^wf2. Five courses are visible, as the lowest two or three courses are obscured by ^escarpment2. The exposed masonry consists of regular courses built of predominantly medium- and small-sized stones, including both roughly parallelepipedal blocks and rounded rough stones. A single larger block occurs in the first visible course. The joints range from 2 to 20 cm in thickness and are filled with mud mortar with small stone inclusions. The masonry is laid in a bonded pattern, with each stone in an upper course positioned over the joint between two stones in the course below, thereby enhancing the stability of the wall.
