View from the southwest looking northeast down into the interior room of a Canaanite palace/temple dating to the Late Bronze Age stood. Note on the far wall the stone basalt foundations of the walls of the room, and the (partially reconstructed) mud brick walls above them.
Basalt foundations like this are also typical of temples and palaces further north—in Syria and Turkey. This room was probably the major room of the palace. Originally the pebble floor was covered with wood.
