What's a dunam, and what are ashlar stones?
Many freepers kindly helped to get a FRhomepage organized on Internet Explorer. It should look organized, now.

Ashlars are large, hard, carved stones.

Dunam, four to the acre. Old measurement of land still in use in the middle east.
Ashlar stone, a stone that has been quarried and neatly dressed into building stones. Often used as stone facings. The presence of ashlar stones at this site indicate that this was a long standing, well established town with a good commerce base. Only the wealthy build with ashlar stones.
