Clark (1987:490) describes a second major collapse event in H.2 above a presumed Late Umayyad destruction horizon, noting that a period of abandonment and brief squatter occupation, marked by an ash-filled fire pit (locus H.2:005), was followed by a “major collapse of masonry,” after which no further occupation occurred, with the resulting destruction layer (locus H.2:004) consisting of a “massive tumble of fallen masonry including stone ceiling beams,” a sequence that could support earthquake-driven structural failure rather than gradual decay.
