Beskrivelse
Following a review of goals and procedures, the main substantive results pertaining to stratigraphy and architecture are described and illustrated. In the Second Millennium, besides some interesting jar burials, a considerable exposure was obtained of a Khana period residential quarter: the date established by epigraphic data confirms the conclusions reached on typological grounds in 1976, whereby a major artifactual assemblage can now be safely attributed to this otherwise unknown period. - In the Third Millennium strata we were able to identify a massive monumental structure as a city wall of which several portions could be traced along the perimeter of the tell: its structural make-up is evidenced, at least in part, by a large exposure at one end of the tell and by sounding at the opposite end. Just within the city-wall are well preserved remains of manu facturing and storage facilities (kilns and bins), followed in time by richly endowed burial.
