Phase IV
Stage Description Construction of the East Corridor Wall and doorways.
Description This wall comprises the western half of the southernmost portion of the East Corridor Wall. The length of this portion of the wall is undetermined, as the southernmost portion of it remains unexcavated. The wall is composed of 11 courses of roughly hewn limestone blocks. The average height of these stones is approximately 0.45 m, and the average width is 0.30-0.70 m. The outer, western face, of the wall was probably plastered. Both the construction of the South Doorway (Locus 27) and the Upper Temenos Southern Wall, as well as the application of layers of mud, adhered this wall to that on the east side of the East Corridor Wall (Locus 28).
