Heshbon 1976. Area G.4, 13, 15

Abstract

"Squares G.4, 13, and 15 (forming a triangle with sides of 40, 78, and 110 m.), lay southwest of the acropolis on the terraces west of the plateau of the caravanserai, near Benchmark A (872.62 m. above sea level). As the accompanying terrain map shows (see Fig. 14), other natural and architectural features surround these Squares-caves, cisterns, field walls, an arch, and other architectural remnants. Some of the natural caves1 had been deliberately refined for some useful purpose. All caves (one hewn into three shapely rooms) contained evidence of most recent use for animal shelter"
