Grid 51
The 1997 season was the first season in Grid 51. Excavation in 1997 encountered extensive Islamic period pitting and trenching as well as the remains of an earlier Byzantine period structure.
Grid 38, which long had some of the tightest most complex stratigraphy on site, was the training ground for the excavation of mudbrick architecture.
