Walls

The only structures found in J1 are stone walls belonging to the different periods of the Temple Terrace. The main wall is the EDIII revetment wall ^wall1 standing for an height of about three meters and made of big sized irregular stones.
     The other big stone structure of J1 is a8 formed by the walls ^wall2 and ^wall3 forming a L shaped structure.

Other stones walls are interpreted as low screen/curtain wall to keep the base of the wall protected from water? and people. Examples are ^curt1, made of just few scattered stones, ^curt2, constructed of three rows of medium sized stones, ^curt3, made of big stones right at the base of the revetment wall. This could also be interpreted as a sort of bench, because of the dimension of the stones that show a regular flat upper surface (v127a and v363).
