STREET A/E

In 1999, while exploring street A/E — the
area between Church A and Building E
and the as yet only fragmentarily recorded
Building G lying to the west of the latter
— we found small sections of street-leveling
layers that had escaped disturbance by the
graves of the cemetery. This layer was
made up of mostly pottery and was
deposited undoubtedly sometime after the

conflagration that had destroyed the
monastery at the turn of the 9th century
and after the building of Church A.
Selected parts of this leveling layer inside
space E.9, which is a passage between
Building E and Church A,l4) were
examined by Mr. T. Gorecki, who also
recorded the pottery coming from this
layer.15)
