Elevation:

Notes:
 5 or 6 mounds, each probably the remains of one structure. Site badly robbed for its stones. Northernmost structure has mud-brick walls, niched to take timbers, with stone foundations. AA thinks that the southernmost mound is a temple. Large blocks visible in scarp of S mound. 2 pecked Musnad inscriptions on blocks in S mound. Few ceramics collected because these seemed very comparable to Jujah 1.

(10/23/99) Re-visited this site because we were in this area. Found to our dismay that since 1997 the northernmost structure of this site (now labeled A-28) has been badly damaged by stone robbing, illicit excavation, and a bulldozer cut.
