Definition | Square and rectangular pavers. |
Description | The pavers of the exterior East Corridor appear to be arranged in a square and rectangular pattern. In their initial construction they were laid to abut Wall Locus 3. There is evidence of severe damage to these pavers possible from an earthquake. There were some pottery and glass fragments, but these on the average were scant and may have resulted from nomadic passersby. To date, only the pavers in doorway Locus 5, have been exposed. |
