The glacis was excavated in the 2 m wide trench in unit B6 and reached a length of about 27 m. In the southern portion, were it is at its widest, it is retained to the east from JP^wl1 and to the west by JP^apr1. Under the upper steps of ^apr1, where some stones are missing, mudbricks of the glacis can be seen (J2f72). This indicates that the glacis was built before the steps. The height of the glacis can be estimated being at least 5 bricks or 0.50m. This height was recorded in the west section of trench of unit B6. JP^gl1 is built from red and gray mudbricks of 0.50x0.50m, 0.25x0.25m in dimensions, but several half and quarter of bricks are also used. The bricks are randomly set in lines, which in the northern portion are with north-south direction and the rows are ordered. In the southern part the bricks are laid not in such ordered lines. A Step of about 30cm in height is located 2 m north of the last step of JP^apr1. From here to the steps the mudbrick are not ordered and the material consists of brocken bricks and eroded bricks. This material was recorded during the excavation of J2 as J2f74. Here was described as being a reddish bricky or bakaya layer (see aspecially J2v57). wm mudbrick cn eroded I3 EDII, EDIII M1 The glacis covers the terrace core and also serves as a ramp, leading people from the staircase to the temple. In both cases, it had to be plastered; otherwise, it would erode. However, we have found no traces of plaster. A98 The term 'glacis' is used to describe the feature's distinct slope. Like other glacis found in JP, the mudbrick structure ^JPgl1 follows the contour of the terrace core. In previous excavation publications, it was named a 'mudbrick terrace'(see B6f1) Q99 The description of the structure is elaborated from Bianchi et al. 2014, p. 78. ^ glacis2 df glacis >l J3f368 ds A thin (about 2-5cm) and crusty surface with a marked north-south slope, consisting of deteriorated mudbricks.

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 JP^gl2, which sealed it. The wall is built of red mudbricks (40 × 10 cm) laid in gray mortar.

The southern edge of the structure extends approximately 1 m south of the southern limit of JP^wl19. The western extent was not exposed. The preserved height of the platform is at least one mudbrick course. The platform is constructed of red mudbricks laid in gray mortar, with small white pebbles present in the mudbrick fabric. he top elevation of the wall is located between 9230 m in the NW corner and 9077 m in the southern corner. el 9078 A35 J3v198 ^ wall24 >l J3f361 ^ wall25 df w >l B6f9 Q3 B6-M33
