Stratigraphy

After phase 63 where no human activites are attested in J4, some activities began to take place. However, this rebuilding phase in J4 is on a smaller scale compared to other areas around the monumental staircase. The area began to gradually buildup and then eroad, before some building activities took place through the construction of some stone and mud brick structures (f93, f84, f159, f170). However, the south of J4 affected by the brickfall ^bf2 in J6, was not used. In fact, the entire area of J4 goes back to not being used in the later stratum of this phase as a consequence of the fire that followed the brickfall in J6.
