The Buildings Several major buildings have been unearthed on one side of the mound. One of these is a large structure, believed to be the base of a huge granary. City fathers must have felt that it was a good idea to have all the grain centrally located under their watchful eye. There is nothing left of the wooden superstructure. Another astonishing and most celebrated citadel buildings is the Great Bath.
Steps lead down into the bath at either end.
This bath was made water tight by using gypsum mortar between fired bricks and sealing by a course of bitumen. The bath was drained through a brick arch about two metres high and was probably filled from a large well found close by. Many other great buildings have been excavated, but some of them are in need of re-excavation. The main streets are about nine meters wide and run at righ-angles to each other, dividing the town into roughly rectangular blocks measuring about 360 meters by 240 meters. Between these main streets run a series of lanes, also at right-angles, usually about 1.5 to 3 meters wide.
