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
