Description:
General view of Area B after 2nd season. Sausage-shaped buildings are Stratum 3 (early EB 1); others are Strata 2 and 1 (late EB 1). Entire surface of Area B was bulldozed prior to excavation for quarrying not associated with excavation. Note soil covering “bedrock” of ancient, fossilized sand dunes (kurkar) quarried for construction. Below them is red “hamra” soil probably on limestone bedrock
