 Below this building are architectural remains and numerous pits attributed to Iron Age I, including a floor with vessels and traces of destruction.Cutting this activity is a massive east-west stone wall that was partly covered by the Persian-early Hellenistic building and thus, it is presently attributed to Iron Age IIB.No floors associated with it have yet been excavated and it seems that it might be part of a citadel at this high point of the mound.
