Preliminary Report on the 1997 Swiss-Liechtenstein excavations at ez Zantur
by Bernhard Kolb (with contributions by Daniel Keller and Yvonne Gerber)
II. Ez Zantur IV: The Nabataean „villa“
During the 1997 season the southernmost part of the mansion i. e. walls H, I and J, was exposed. The building at this point has an east-west extension of approx. 24 m (Figs. 1–2). Wall I, which is most probably is the building’s eastern enclosure wall, runs the entire length of the terrace on its steep eastern flank. On the gently sloping western flank however several stretches of walls visible on the surface as well as the two doorways in wall B Kolb 1996: 233, Figs. 3–4. indicate that the groundplan stretches further west than the area as yet exposed.
