GENERAL SITE TYPE Wall

TYPE

1. Wall. Broneer [1966], 351 Implied.

2. Wall. Morgan [1999], 442 Implied.

PERIOD (High Chronology)

1. Prehistoric: (4000 BC - 1190 BC)

a. Broneer [1966]: 351, Broneer says: 'The few pottery sherds found in contact with section Ro were undatable.' Sherds from several different periods have their origin in various sections of this wall. Undatable sherds may be prehistoric ... or not. It seems safe, however, to characterize Ro as prehistoric.

NOTES

1. See the important discussion of this wall, its construction method, and purposes which appears in Simpson and Hagel [2006] 124-140.

2. The location is exact. This segment was located and photographed by my colleague, Peter Barkevics, on 3/1/2024. See his photographs below.
