Building E

Building E is located at the south-western periphery of the mound (tell). It is lacking any superstructure, comprised solely of two preserved pedestals cut from the natural limestone bedrock and a carefully smoothed limestone floor. Although excavated in the mid-1990s, it was not until the later discovery of Building C and Building D that these features identified as the remains of a monumental (megalithic) structure.
To the north of the building are two large pits carved into the surface of the natural plateau. It is likely that these pits (cisterns?) were contemporaneous with the monumental building
It dates from the 10th-9th mill. BC
