Fragments of solidly built structures have been discovered in several other places. A very big building of considerable dimensions has been found with an open courtyard between the two portions of the building with another open court at the back on the west side. ‘One of the two rooms in the western portion measures 14 feet by 12 feet internally, while the other, which is separated from it by a passage or gallery, is incomplete. The former was provided with an entrance, 3 feet 10 inches wide on the east side, with a small rectangular drain and a masonry bench along one of the walls. Several strata of buildings came to light below this level, but they are too fragmentary. Two cells looking like kitchens or baths have been found. They are provided with drains and a gabled roof. Another solidly built house has been discovered. One complete room in this structure has internal dimensions of 15 feet by 5 feet 10 inches and is provided with one door on the south and presumably two on the north side.’¹
