In a fill from private house in Room 1A2 (in area eA8V), excavators discovered an archive of 15 texts, belonging to a group of Egyptians. Some of these people have Egyptian names, others have Assyrian names. Available datings belong to a period of some 30 years in the mid-7th century BC. The archive consists of legal documents.
