Southwestern wall face of ^wall6 in J2. The exposed wall face consists of ten to eleven irregular courses. The lower five courses are built of predominantly medium-sized, roughly rounded stones, together with several large, roughly parallelepipedal blocks; small stones are also incorporated into the masonry. From the sixth course upward, the western portion of the wall face is disturbed. Stones are missing from an area approximately 1 m wide and 2 m high, apparently as the result of a collapse. Two additional courses have been preserved above this collapsed section. In the eastern portion of the wall face, the masonry remains regular and comparable to the lower courses. The joints range from 2 to 10 cm in thickness and are filled with mud mortar. The uppermost preserved course is highly irregular, reflecting further stone collapse. On the western side, the wall face is partially obscured by ^wall4, which abuts it over a length of approximately 80 cm. [Input: ZK304pC.j] |
