Excavations conducted in narrow space

Cross-section through debris deposits

Cross-sections inside (top) and outside (bottom) of perimeter wall [250]. The wall itself, being of mud-brick, was heavily eroded, sometimes to a lower elevation than the adjoining more densely packed street debris. As can be seen in the bottom cros… >
