DABA, T. ED- [277]
Visited by J and P Spencer in 1990: extensive mound. Visible outlines of buildings on surface, in mud brick, and some fired-bricks scattered around. Limestone fragments among surface debris, and a granite millstone, cut from a column. Sebakh extracted and sherds thrown back into hollows. DAI test in 1983 found only Ptolemaic and Roman material, see MDAIK 40, 323f. The site is founded on silt.
