LC3

     Ceramics is exclusively LC3 - is it accumulations? But if so, how did they get deposited? How would they not be washed away, especially given the sloping surface of the red bricks glacis? What would have contained them?
     Contains few LC3 sherds.
     Could it be a fill after all, placed as a subfloor for the baqaya-like hard surface? Does it look like subfloor? Seems rather soft.

LC2

     fAB: instead of the surface of a LC2 mound, the bricks could be a fallen LC3 building.
