Domestic Architecture. The domestic architecture here
like that at Bā'ûdi was chiefly built
of small rough stones with lintels and jambs
of plain monothiths and 2 story colonnades in
heavy rectangular style. There do
not seem to have been shops or bazarrs like
those at Bā'ûdi all were private houses
of the simplest plan with long porticoes of piers.

Above the town are numerous presses,
one of which is cut in the top of a rock
several feet above the orginary level.
There were two great vats with the usual
accompanying water cisterns etc - below
them is a natural cave which seems to
have been used as a cellar or cistern.

These presses are perhaps the best
preserved we have seen and are entirely
unincumbered with debris.
