MUDBRICK WALLS IMITATING
A PALACE FACADE
Adjoining the rock facade on the east are two
parallel walls of latitudinal orientation with
a transversal wall linking them at the eastern
end. On the outside, these walls are broken
by a series of recesses imitating a palace
facade. They border a rectangular court
located on a higher level than that in front of
the cult chamber.12^ The walls are built
above and on the top of the deposits of layer
8. Thus, they were most probably erected at
Fig. 3- Area 1/D, Shaft 1, vertical and horizontal cross-sections
