Summary/Abstract: Building G in Naqlun was discovered in the 2003 season and its western part was explored at that time. In the next season, the rooms by the south wall of the complex were excavated, and in 2005 it was possible to complete the examinations and interpret the layout and nature of Building G, which probably dates from the 10th century AD. Barring a few exceptions, this report concerns walls uncovered in seasons 2004 and 2005. With regard to the other structures, the report covers finds from seasons 2003–2005. Various construction details of walls, floors, roofs, stairs, doors, probable windows and basins are described.
