City complex



‎In the Iron Age, most Palestinian cities were protected by city walls. On the inside of the wall, the roads sometimes proceeded parallel to the wall and provided access to every house. The individual houses normally consisted of a courtyard, as well as of rooms and stables on three sides (separated by posts). The courtyard was the common workplace and secured light for the rooms. In the summer months, the flat-roofed houses were used as sleeping place, but also for drying flax, grapes, etc.

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
