Beneath the Canaanite ruins the remains of a prehistoric wall were discovered. As this could not be explored without destroying later strata, it is not known what it had to reveal. Further work should be done on this early stratum.

The wall of the Canaanite city was traced on the north, west, and a part of the south sides. On the east it had entirely disappeared.
