The settlement is divided into two sections, one smaller but higher and
the other much longer but lower. Archaeologists designate these as
the citadel and the Lower Town respectively.
Two sections of settlement:
1. The Citadel
These were constructed on mud brick platforms and were walled,
which meant that it was physically separated from the Lower Town.
These include the warehouse – a massive structure of which the lower
