ds A small wall consisting of a row of four stones, which are not particularly well aligned. The stones rest directly on the floor J1f238. They are aligned with the course of the second escarpment, but do not form a particularly compact structure, especially when compared with the subsequent curtain wall (JP^wall28), which constitutes a proper separating wall. This feature seems to have had more of a symbolic function, marking a sacred boundary, rather than serving as an actual barrier, as it could have been easily stepped over or circumvented. A further hypothesis is that the stones may have functioned as a sort of “memory stones” marking the escarpment.

ds Stone wall running east–west, almost parallel to the revetment wall (JP^wall19). The wall consists of a single row of stones and is preserved for two to three courses. It forms a clear and well-defined boundary at the base of the revetment wall. It was built, at least in part, against the material forming the second escarpment and rested directly on Mittani-period accumulations. Towards the west, the wall gradually becomes less compact, eventually consisting of only a few isolated stones (J1f314), thus more closely resembling ^wall27. Unlike the latter, however, this wall is located at a higher elevation and closer to the revetment wall. This difference in elevation may be related to the progressive accumulation of Mittani-period deposits within the square, which increased gradually but relatively rapidly over time.

ds Stone installation constituted of large to very large stones and set on top of the bricky red material belonging to the J1^esc2 next to the lower part of the Revetment Wall. It was preserved only in a small portion in correspondence with the stone escarpment. Because of the shape of the stone with a clear flat upper surface it was also interpreted as a sort of bench. It is not clear if the people could sit on them, but the large sized stones could also perform also as a sacral boundary, more symbolic than real being so close to the wall itself.

I3 Mittani
I10 The stons are lying on top of the bricky material dating to second escarpement. The accumulations abutting it are Mittani, but since in J1 we have seen how Mittani level are close (and sometimes directly overimposed) to ED III occupation, some small doubts on the chronology remain.
M1 It could have been used as a bench, or as a symbolic sacral boundary at the base of the revetment wall. It cannot be ruled out that it may also have been used together with JP^wall28, which becomes smaller and less compact as it approaches JP^wall29, where the second escarpment against which the two structures rest is also much lower than the same one to the east.
