Square 1 (2 × 4 m). A modern concrete wall (W102), oriented north–south, was exposed in the western part of the square. Two coins, dating to 1950 when the Zarnuqa immigrant camp was established there, were discovered in the wall’s foundation trench. A wall (W105) built of two rows of fieldstones (average dimensions 0.15 × 0.20 m) was exposed in the eastern part of the square, at a depth of 0.8 m below surface. Wall 105, oriented north–south, was preserved a single course high (0.4 m) and 1.5 m long. Non-diagnostic potsherds were retrieved from the fill of the wall. After removing a brown hamra fill layer (thickness 0.3 m), a floor (L107; thickness 0.1 m) of small fieldstones was exposed east of W105, at a depth of 1.15 m below surface. A few body sherds of jars from the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods were found above the floor.

 

Square II (2.0 × 3.5 m). A floor (L108; thickness 0.1 m) of small kurkar stones was exposed in the western part of the square, 0.1 m below surface. A few non-diagnostic potsherds were collected above the floor.
