4. TYPOLOGY

Function

Roster Date Author Record
Notes on function 2001-07-11 jlw gb visited and after close inspection, concluded that it probably was a wall rather than a platform, primarily because of its length, 10 meters of which is now exposed with no signs of a corner or north face. jlw had favored interpreting the structure as a platform, not having seen a wall of that thickness before. It could have served some security functions for an important building or helped emphasize the size and position on the tell when viewed from the plain to the west or the mountains to the north.
