E.V.7
Closely associated with houses VI IV and VII V is an area delimited by the southern wall of E.IV.4, the eastern wall of E.VII.2 E.V.6, the street, and the rock cutting near the necropolis. We excavated to just over bed-rock in part of this area, finding a deep deposit obviously related to the occupation of the houses, but no structural remains. It appears that the area in question was open in antiquity, and used as a court.
The stratification casts additional light on the history of the walls of houses IV and V. A thin layer of gritty red-brown earth covered the bed-rock throughout the area. We did not cut through this stratum, which appears to be contemporary with house IV. This level was covered by a very uneven deposit of ashy refuse, varying in depth from only the thinest trace to 0.31 m. This level runs up on to the east wall of E.VII.2 E.V.6, showing that house V was built before the ash began to accumulate. This stratum stops with the line of the south wall of E.VI.4 E.IV.4, showing that that wall was still standing when the ashy deposit was formed. Soon after, however, this wall was demolished, save for 2.50 m. at the eastern end. The trench through which the stones of the wall were removed cuts the ashy stratum, though not the stratum above. The ashy stratum thus dates to the period between the construction of house V and its remodelling subsequent to the destruction of house IV. The ashy stratum is covered by a layer of loose redbrown earth containing sand and some medium-sized stones. This goes to the top
