Portions of walls have also been found at several places. Most of these belong to dwelling houses. One of them has been followed up for a length of about 18 feet. There were also two other walls running parallel to it on the other side. ‘This, however, turned out to be all that had survived of the buildings. That the structure was an important one is evidenced by several interesting objects which came to light in it.’² At another place have been discovered two thick walls running parallel to each other at a distance of about 2 feet. ‘They are broken at both ends and contain no openings or doors. These walls came to light at the depth of 11 feet below the surface, but above them and intersecting them at right angles were two others that must be assigned to considerably later date. Two other trenches at this spot revealed a corner of a brick-building³ in which two earthenware vessels containing human bones lay buried.’⁴
